When someone we love dies, we
are left with great structures that are now hollow of life. Memories constantly avalanche
down around us, and our dreams for what might have been lie scattered on the
floor.
In our struggle to survive a
death, we need a community to help us through grief. If left on our own, we would
curl up in a corner until our hearts desiccated into a walnut. We need people
to help us crack grief’s nuts open.

ReplyDeleteI've got to tell you, it still felt very lonely because, outside of my older friend, no one else knew what to say or do, so I had to feel my way through. And there wasn't much on the internet at that point, and I couldn't even find refuge there. I'm thankful that you have a good friend you can share with. Ha! Time heals as well as it kills. Sadly true. Unfortunately.
