Busy and far away

3/27/2019

Andrew told me he had family. "They're busy and mostly far away. They've been good to me, though. My wife, their mother, and I were only married ten years. We both wished we had known each other sooner so we could have been together longer."

"A big loss." After I said that I felt stupid. I almost apologized. 


Why do you think I felt stupid?

I think it is because we are afraid to point out the sadness of it, when in reality its important to acknowledge his feelings. The other part about saying "loss" is that they have not lost them, they are there in memories, feelings.

HI Michele, good points. It really is hard to really put the word "loss"out there. We all know it. Andrew seems to take my comment well. Part of our coming together was our careful but loving honesty.
