She said “Well, at least you got to say good-bye.”Anger rises in me because I see her comment as one of those my-situation-is-worse-than-yours comments.Anger because she wants to beat me to the bottom, to claim more grief, more anger, more despondency than me.Anger because really? Do we have to . . .
There is a similar conflict that can be found among Military Spouses.
How many deployments.
The length of the deployments.
The location of the deployments.
All are separations for our families.
All are stressful goodbyes, endurance, and reunions.
All are challenging - and yet some persist in seeking the spotlight.
All just want to be heard. understood. and loved.
(hugs) I am so sorry for your loss.
Thank you for sharing your story with all of us.
