SELF PROTECTION

Maybe we all do go through losses like his death alone on some level.  

For me the supportive presence of my neighbors,, my family and my friends allowed me to begin to stitch together a new framework for being that was different because Andrew had died. 

I did not really understand that he was dead and physically gone forever. I do not think I understand that now. In some way he is just away. My sister Kathy died last August and I feel the same about her.

 I was explaining this way of being with death to Marnie and she told me it was the same with her. She added that she felt it was her way of protecting herself from losses that were just too big. It was as if she was describing me exactly.
