In my passion type my thoughts out, I have come to the conclusion that as my thoughts are traveling from my brain down my arm and out of my fingertips somewhere along the line there is a spelling gremlin that purposely jumbles the words.<BR/><BR/>I am a bad speller.<BR/><BR/>I should go to a support group.<BR/><BR/>JustamamaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3706003313222740419.post-71378082180182972202009-02-10T09:52:00.000-06:002009-02-10T09:52:00.000-06:00In my humblest of opinions, during any event in ou...In my humblest of opinions, during any event in our life needing comfort and grief, a common bond is the supporting underwire that gets us through.<BR/><BR/>When we think and talk about grief of course the first thing that leaps to our immaginations is death.<BR/><BR/>Having been a Hospice nurse for four years I have given quite a bit of thought to grief, grieving, death and how our western culture deals with this topic.<BR/><BR/>I have to say here that upon reading your statement in your lists...I will quote here, "18. I miss my grandma. When she died, I was pissed that I couldn't call her and tell her she died. I needed her comforting for her death." I think this is a pretty profound statement.<BR/><BR/>This statement although included in a 'list' should really be included in grief manuals for anyone interested in reading them.<BR/><BR/>It's such a simple statement but yet at the same time it speaks volumes. The one person with home we would seek comfort when something tragic has happened is not there because they have died. That would indeed incite some anger now wouldn't it? A feeling of being let down, "Where are you when I need you?".<BR/><BR/>That got me thinking also about how maybe in life, this life that we are in without say, maybe in this life it truly is the simple explanations such as your one sentence in your list that actually helps us understand and acknowledge situations best.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your frank openess in discussing something so very private.<BR/><BR/>Most respectfully,<BR/><BR/>JustamamaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
