book about grief by Angela ThomasI'm reading this book and its all about grief. About a quarter
of the way through, something dawned on me... I'm grieving.
I'm dealing with the loss of the one person that I can't imagine
my life without. It doesn't seem real and the days don't seem
manageable without him in my life. I don't know how to put him
in a little box and dig up a small patch of dirt somewhere in the
middle of the sidewalk, cover him up, and bury him, because he's
still alive. How do you bury the living? How am I supposed to
just pick up and move on when I feel like I have nothing left to
hold onto, and even if I did, I don't think I would have strength
enough to carry it. My work has soared. I have poured myself
into my work at a feverish pace that would make most top execs
sick. Food is an afterthought, my body is no more a temple, my
stupid heart is getting smaller and harder by the moment and all
because I read this book about grief and loss that my state
suddenly that much more clear. I am full of grief for him. 04/22/2006 Posted on 04/22/2006 Copyright © 2024 Angela Thomas
