Maybe it's because I knew that he was on his way out that makes this easy, but when I'm accused of being "heartless" by family, I sort of want to curl up and cry about this all over again
( Read more... )
Whoever called you heartless need to piss off. I will take a wild guess here... I bet this person didn't come and visit him much in the hospital did they?
Everyone has a different way of mourning. I mourned my grandmother for 2 months before she died. I got to watch her slowly fade away before my eyes until she was the shell of who she was.
I cried plenty before she died... but none after she was gone. I picked out pictures and songs for the service. I helped my mother through it. I remember going to my therapist and expressing concern over my lack of grief.
She explained to me that everyone grieves differently and showed me that I had already done a great deal of my grieving during the end. It made me feel a lot better.
Ugh, can I smack whoever that was? You are NOT heartless. You have a shiny bitch shell that you wear to protect the gooshy insides. Known that for ages, darling. As far as the goals? You're always welcome to come visit us, plus it'll be a LOT closer when we get to philly! (And if you move to DC, that's practically neighbors, by my standards, so we will have LOTS of hanging out to do!!)
