...and then grief returns to the familiar routine -- the loss, and the disbelief; the fear at those six words which are I will not see him again.

The woman who lost her mother sends me a message. She says that life growing is not the same as forgetting and she sent me a picture to prove it. A little girl in the arms of a mother who lost her mother. Her middle name is my mother's first, she tells me.

Grief is such a lonely thing. There is no one in it with you -- others may grieve for the same soul, but they do not grieve exactly for what you also grieve. No-one has lost precisely what you have lost. Not exactly, never exactly. We are in it alone.

To The Substitute Art Teacher - Jordan Bolton

[catchawishing-star]

But hate is part of grief, Maggie knows that now. It is as strong and defined, in grief, as shock is or that deep, unbearable space which opens up inside us, a cave we walk into with our arms apart and we shout where have you gone? Where have you gone? They who were so real -- who were warm-bodied, noisy, brimming with life and memory and future plans. How could they be over? We do not understand it, and then the understanding starts to take root and show itself and we realise that we will never see them again, never watch how they move or hear new words from their mouths. And then the anger comes in.

She learnt this: that grief changes more than you ever thought it could. All certainty goes away. All strong things stop being strong.

Who told her the grief would lessen? Grief does not lessen; it changes, and perhaps she has changed so that she can endure it better. But the grief does not grow less. She misses him beyond words. She will never have the words for how much she misses him.
