I don't want to be frustrated with you.
I want to feel like I can trust you to 'hold' me when I can't hold myself.

The timing of all this couldn't be worse.

Understanding is neither a release nor a relief.

I'm trying out a new grief group on Sunday, and then I have the helpline call on Monday.

Just because I'm good at carrying things on my own, to paraphrase, that doesn't mean they're not heavy.
