A very dear family friend, my 5th sister, is extremely ill. The likely not coming back kind of ill. Everyone who knows her is currently going through all manner of shock/grief response. Me, I don't feel anything.I think I'm in serious lockdown mode. I feel like a horrid freak. There is no reason not to feel anything. And I don't think I am in shock or anything like that.
It's not about me.
Please live Jane, we're even not remotely prepared to say goodbye. You are a gracious, hilarious, beautiful woman. Please live.
winter to spring

this winter has been so gloriously mild. lots of greens and browns on the
landscape rather than white. when it has snowed, it's been a flaky snowfall
that...

OH wow, so sorry to hear this. And yah, you probably are in shock. Worried about Victoria, now Jane - plus coping with your own issues: it's just too much to deal with sometimes. Probably a little bit of denial as well. The other thing, living so far away, doesn't life elsewhere seem a little surreal sometimes?
ReplyDeleteBesides, we always push away really bad news. It's how we cope.
LIfe can be so surreal, you got it. I just observe from a distance most of the time. Thanks for your love and support Cath, you help me SO much.
ReplyDeleteHave a really great week!
