”When Kit died, I was always with mom, but she hid absolutely all her emotions. She talked to me about how I was doing at school, how I was doing with my friends, but I didn’t want to talk about myself, I wanted to talk about her and how she was doing. She wouldn’t let me in this part of her. She protected me, tried to distract me, take me away from even more stress, but I didn’t want to stay away. And this feeling of loneliness was definitely similar to what I felt in New York , but with one difference. I was older, she’s really could already share her pain with me. I was no longer a little child. And I wanted to go through it with her.”
”Have you ever compared these two cases with each other? Which one do you think affected you the most?”
”I’m not sure that these cases can be compared. Kit has been by my side all my life, we’ve had a very warm relationship, we’ve shared secrets, we’ve had our own greeting, pretty silly,” Angie smiled, but there were still tears in her eyes. ”And I remember my love for Oli. It’s something that still makes my heart ache. Some specific memories are blurred, but I do remember that I loved her. But you know, when I think about the time when… when Oli died, I didn’t think about myself or how bad I felt, but I was thinking about my moms and how much I missed them.”
”For children, death is an emotion, not something conscious. Your main emotions at that time were loneliness and fear, and that’s what you remember. What do you think your moms should do or not do to make you feel better?”
”I don’t know. I really don’t know. Occasionally they make mistakes, but they give me a lot of love, a lot of support. I can’t blame them for doing something wrong.”
”What definition can you give to the word ”resentment”?”
”Negativity. A destructive feeling. What prevents you from living happily.”
”Are you more likely to say everything you think or keep a grudge inside yourself?”
”In different ways, depending on the situation. ”

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.
