It's difficult to have conversations with friends and loved ones when some things tend to be so taboo. For example, my grandmother is close to on her death bed, yet know one wants to talk about it. It's like the elephant in the room. You know that everyone is thinking about it yet everyone refuses to discuss it. It's a loss that is sure to come and it's extremely difficult to comprehend death but I'd rather get my feelings out there. Especially to people that care about my grandmother and ME...for crying out loud.
This week has just been full of so many goodbyes. And it's hard to deal with all of this. No one should deal with it alone. It doesn't help that the holidays are coming. But, we suck it up and keep quiet because appearantly, the elephant is small enough to hide behind kitchen/diner tables. The memories shared won't ever be forgotten. Family life is crazy but we deal because every elephant that is hidden for a reason. Right?
