Let me be sad
Let me be sad,
Don't try to change the subject,
Comfort would be nice,
but don't try to change the subject.

would be really nice.

love the poem and i can definately identify...hope you find comfort in letting yourself feel the pain that you are experiencing. I can't tell you how many times after my mom died that others, including my own family members, would switch the subject or gloss over the loss by simple statements like "everything will get better" instead of just listening to me, giving me a shoulder to cry on, and supporting me. There were many times that the responses of others rubbed me the wrong way until I realized that they didn't know the first thing about how to support or help me in this process, although in their own way they were trying to help.

I’m so so sorry you are going through this. Grief is hard enough, but going through it secretly, all the while having to continue showing up for your kids, is just brutal.
Perhaps your friend was careful to hide your conversations behind…"
It was not supposed to be like this
In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More
