Numbed myself to stop remembering January.
Backstory
Is forgetting apart of the grieving process? I no longer think of my MomMom. I just can't or don't want to. I feel tears well up in my eyes. I can't listen to her last voicemail when she sang 'Happy Birthday' for my 16th. I don't want to think of Martin Luther King Jr. Day when she died. I don't want to remember my mother's astonished face when she opened the door for me. Especially when she said I couldn't come since she didn't want me to remember my grandmother skinny and dying. I don't want to think about how I forgot to say "I love you" for the last time. And I sure as hell don't want to cry anymore. I just want to sit at the dining room table to talk about Royal Doulton or hear about Oklahoma. by TheAngstyPoet in Six-Word Memoirs on Jan 16, 2013 |

However you grieve is all right, The. Sometimes we need to forget, so we can get a little padding around our heart. Then, when we remember again, it is different. Always a little painful, but different. When you have cried enough, the tears will stop.You are a wonderful, thoughtful young woman. Take good care of yourself in the coming days. Ask yourself what you need. You will know. Sending you lots of hugs and pats on the shoulder. All will be well.
