”What happened in New York?”
”We visited two colleges and took a short walk around the city. It was a short trip. Everything was fine. Mom Bee was a little more focused than usual, but it’s understandable, she’s just excited about going to College and all the fuss.”
”I see. How often do you feel this vacuum that you mentioned?”
”It happens sometimes,” Angie shrugged and was silent for a few seconds, but then decided to add specifics. ”Don’t think anything bad, mom and I have a generally good relationship, but she tends to close in on herself and I do, too. And Tee… well, she’s been away for a while.”
”Did the problems with Bette start before or after Tina returned from Toronto?”
Angie and Ingrid had long ago agreed that Ingrid would call the girl’s moms by their full names, while Angie herself was more comfortable calling them B and T.
”This has always been a problem. When I was younger, of course, mom did not allow herself to be silent with me for long, but I still sometimes felt that she was worried about something, and she did’t talk about it. I guess it’s okay not to share your problems with your child, but I often clearly understood if something was wrong with her. We have a strong connection, I can feel it. I don’t know how to explain it.”
”What about Tina? Do you have a strong connection with her?”
”Yeah, I think so. I really missed her when we were separated.”
”Now you have enough communication with her?”
”We often talk. I help her on set sometimes, so we spend quite a lot of time together. More than ever before.”
”If I asked you to highlight the main fear you’re feeling right now, would you be able to do it?”
Angie thought about it. At first she tried to say something, but then she stopped herself and thought again. After a minute, she seemed sadder than before and expressed what was scaring her. ”I don’t know if that’s the main fear, but it’s definitely one of the main ones. I’m afraid of feeling lonely.
”Do you often feel lonely?”

This is a really sad and tragic story. Bette, Tina and Angie have yet to reconcile their lives to the loss of Oli. They all must have therapy – individually and as a family. It appears that they have never really talked to one another about the loss of Oli and what it meant to them. If Oli is simply to be repressed into the past and not to be spoken about except on her birthday, then it is difficult to move on with their lives together. The fear of bringing up the deep sorrow will always be a burden and will cause a rift in their relationships with each other. It would appear, they have never shared the pain. It will never go away, but it can be diminished by sharing the hurt and the loss with each other.
This is another chapter which just bring me to tears…..
The pain will never go away, but it can become humble. You’re so right about this…
Thank you for reading this.
Hmmm, still think why you need to bring this unexpecting turn about loss another child to them? I agree with some previous comments – there isn’t any indication of that in previous chapter and now it feels strange to me.
And second – why they together? They can’t grieve together, they can’t talk together about that – only with therapist. Even their daughter prefer talking not with them, but with therapist also. So, why they want to be together?
I hope that you will find answers to your questions in the following chapters. I love this couple endlessly and I want everything to be good for them, but I also want to try to delve into their characters through such a tregic theme. I understand that the transition to this topic was too abrupt and groundless, but this was my idea, which I will try to develop further.
