I wanted to say that I am sorry about the loss of your parents. I lost my parents a year and a half apart, so I understand how you must feel. I hope that memories of them are a blessing to you.
As long as our messes end up being fine... Nice entry.
And yes, local movie theaters were the thing in my much younger times and going there with the family or an adult was a highlight.
In remember turning 21. It was a good Birthday. You enjoy Birthdays the most when you are a kid. Mine is right before Christmas so I get double gifts. A good entry.
Prompt:
"I sat with my anger long enough until she told me her real name was grief."
C.S. Lewis
Can anger really mask grief or is it just a stage of it? What do you think?
When someone is hurt, I think the first reaction is anger. I’ve seen it recently as my daughter has fallen to pieces after her relationship ended.
It was sudden. He left whilst they were seemingly happy, leaving our daughter so confused.
The first week she was full of anger. Lots of “how dare he treat me like this!” And “If he thinks I’ll have him back, he’s got another think coming.”
But then came the grief. It’s been deep, dreadful to witness. She can no longer work. She stopped eating and has lost six kilos in 12 weeks. She cries all the time.
She lives far away, but I speak to her for hours, letting her know life is still worth living. We worry she’ll not recover and I wonder if she really wants to.
I wish the anger would return.
