And taking care of somebody else made me feel good. Like discovering you're more than you thought you were. More even than you hoped to be.
Bette GreeneIt was like that. Sometimes I'd go for a periodโdays or weeksโwithout feeling the full sweep of my loss, and then as unexpected as a thunderclap, the realization would rip the protective coating from my senses. Maybe that's the way it is with trick knees and aging griefs. Totally pain free one moment and absorbingly painful the next.
