I'm not a good communicator. Hey Jeneane - that’s OK - I was not as insensitive to the depths of people’s feelings as I would have hoped to be. I’m not a good communicator.

We honor Meg by demonstrating how much we value what she valued. While very few of us get what we deserve, Meg got an overabundance of what she didn't at all deserve (if I'm understanding her documentation of her divorce process). Such overwhelming injustice!!!!

But I accepted it the minute I found out. It's not OKAY, but I accepted it. The thing is: you can't let go until you grieve. the bypass doesn't work. pay me now or pay me later. the 'later' comes back in the form of stuck grief, which we know by a moe familiar name: depression. ergo, how we got here in the first place. ((plus in this instance i had some concerns and information i wanted to share and i did)) that's all. Hey doug–sorry i was so crass. But I accepted it the minute I found out.

Grieving and letting go are two separate things not to be confused with each other. Letting go means accepting the reality of a tragic event, moving on but not forgetting, cherishing the memories and love of that friendship. I never said you shouldn't grieve the loss of Meg.

So I'm not sure what I believe, but Molly has been admiring the birds at the feeder today in a bemused and appreciative sort of way. Maybe I'll lend her the camera while she's on the mend.
