Example text
The thoughts that I think, others think too. Through having tasted grief I have greater understanding for others. One grows through one’s experiences, gets stronger and understands better what is valuable in life. I have learnt that it is not dangerous to be sad. Sorrow like joy is a part of life. My aunt, who is one of my ‘extra mothers’, says that it is just as natural to cry as to laugh. She is right. I do not believe that one can live a whole life without falling into one or another grief-hole in the road.
That was no help to me. I felt forsaken and tears ran down my uncomprehending face when the ambulance left with Mummy. Another time when Mummy was actually at home we had a masseur who came to soften up her muscles. I remember that when I sat there on the edge of the bed and watched her being massaged I was quite sure that she was not in pain just at that moment. It may only be a child’s naive way of seeing things but since I was also allowed to help knead her body I felt that I could help her too.
We all went up to Mummy and sat there, close to her, until she had slipped away. What I remember most was my older brother. That hurt me the most. I had never seen him cry before. It was as if someone stabbed a knife into his heart. It hurt so much to see him. We were allowed to sit with Mummy as much as we wanted. I sat with her for over two hours. I cried and talked to her, but it was not at all as it used to be. Because Mummy was dead. I lay close to her. She was cold, but that’s what it’s like when someone dies.
