Yesterday was suppose to be a fun filled day to celebrate my sister graduating college. But of course family that I have not seen or spoken to since Norman's passing brought him up. I did not want to talk about it him as it was not about me and how I was doing. It was my sister's day.

My aunt decided she needed to give me her opinion on how I am handling his passing. She told me you need to talk to someone about it. Who are you to tell me I need to talk to someone? Every one grieves their own way and for as long as they need to. She has never been in my situation. Sometimes people need to keep their opinions to themselves. Until you have to deal with losing your best friend, your soulmate the other half you don't tell me nothing.

It truly enrages me when people think they know what is best for me. I am a grown woman. I will deal with Norman's passing in my own way. I think I know what is best for me.
