But I didn't get it. She died, nothing I could do we change that. When she was diagnosed with multiple kinds of cancer I didn't think wailing and grieving would be anything that anyone should have thought of - it doesn't help her in anyway. When she died how would me being all mournful and morbid help her family? I look after her son, I help out her husband... Surely that's more useful than being all sad and sorrowful when they're trying to get on with life. |
I remember one chemistry class when I was still at school. We were set to write a test that day and just as the test started, one of the girls in the class got a phone call to tell her that her dad had died, after losing a battle with a incurable fever of some kind. I remember everyone crying, and even though the test still happened, everyone else failed and said afterwards they couldn't concentrate after that news. Even the teacher said she regretted not postponing the test.
I remember me going about business as usual. Yes it was sad, but I immediately focused on the task at hand, and wrote the test, scoring quite well.
I'm sure many of the people in the class that day decided I was cold and sadistic.
