”I understand what you are talking about and it is absolutely normal that you are worried about it or scared. But we’re skating on thin ice, Angie. I’m not sure it’s ethical to delve into Tina and Bette’s possible personal problems without their presence or knowledge. I can only say one thing about it. Our brains are designed to stay active for as long as possible. This is why the brain tends to block negative memories so that we can move on. Sometimes people do this on purpose. They don’t want to think, they don’t want to share their memories. This is what happens after tragedies, difficult moments in life. This is one of the possible scenarios. I’m not saying that this is due to the fact that you described, but it is also not excluded. I can’t say more, otherwise it will be unsubstantiated conclusions. Would you like to talk to them about it?”
”No, probably not. I know they don’t do it because they don’t care, but because it hurts. I don’t have to touch that wound of theirs just because I’m interested.”
”Does it hurt you?”
”I feel sad when they feel bad. And I get nervous when I can’t find anything to help them. ”
”How did they reconnect with you?”
”I remember that we often slept together, the three of us. It helped us. It’s stupid for a twelve-year-old girl to sleep with her parents, isn’t it?” Angie smiled a little.
”Not at all. I think this is very useful for restoring the connection between parents and a child, no matter how old you are. Do you think that what was happening at that time had a big impact on what kind of relationship you have with your moms now?”
”Yes” Angie answered very quickly. ”I needed them when I was spending time with Alice, Shane, Kit, and anyone else. Assuredly, we started spending time together again soon after, and they tried to talk to me about it… they tried, really tried. But it was hard for everyone, so it left its mark on all of us.”
”Did you feel the same way after Kit died?” Ingrid saw that tears were beginning to form in Angie’s eyes and handed her a box of kleenex. ”Was it a similar feeling?”

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.
