Bette sighed heavily and took off her glasses, placing them on the nightstand. ”It’s hard, there’s a long way to go. But we have a good contact with her”
”You did a great job doing this. I know how difficult it is for you and mom to talk or think about Oli.”
”Yes, it is. Nothing is harder than that” Bette said this in a low voice. She wanted to leave it at that, but she remembered Angie saying that she missed Bette’s openness and their conversations about exciting topics. So the brunette decided to talk to Angie about it a little more. ”At first I didn’t think I could share this with Salma. Mom and I don’t even talk about Oli very often, you know. It is doubly difficult to tell a stranger about it, and even in all the details… but it was possible, to my surprise”
Angie was watching Bette carefully. ”I think you can handle everything” She nodded several times. ”If you can start talking about her, then you can do the rest.”
Bette patted Angie’s hand and shrugged. ”I hope so. We’ll move slowly”
”And I’m always there” Angie said this very clearly, making it clear that she really supports her moms with all her might. Bette smiled a little at the firmness in Angie’s voice and the warmth of knowing that, despite everything, their relationship was what it was. With their own shortcomings and misunderstandings sometimes, but still very close, trusting and supportive. ”I know, sweetheart”
”Well, I don’t think I’ll be waiting for mom, so say good night to her, too.”
”Okay. You can take my car tomorrow morning, it’s time to start driving yourself”
”Oh, it’s cute. What are you driving?”
”I don’t think mom would mind if I asked her to drive me to work”
”Actually, Natalie’s been picking me up for a few days… but thank you”
”As soon as Tina moves her car from Canada to here, I think you’ll be able to take over the one she’s driving now” Bette gave her daughter a quick wink.
”Gosh, when will this moment finally come?” She yawned quickly, covering her mouth with her hand.

This story is very sad, yet inspiring. From the depths of despair can come hope if one will just look for it. Bette and Tina have both repressed their feeling of loss and hurt for a long time. And although this loss is something they will never get over they must learn to live with it and to put their lives into a loving and caring relationship with each other and with Angie. Its time to acknowledge the loss, feel the pain, heal each other and learn how to go forward as a result. Loss of a child is devastating. Dealing with it even more difficult. It can tear families apart… these two need each other… I believe they have made a good and positive start. They just need to get to the point where they turn to each other every time, when in need of comfort and solace and to be present when those times arise.
Thanks for the update….
Thank you for reading, Martha!
I really like your phrase “from the depths of despair can come hope if one will just look for it”
I think it makes a lot of sense.
Hi Ada,
This was so good, i almost don’t have words to describe how this chapter touched my heart.
I don’t have children and can’t imagine what a devasted loss it is when your child suddenly dies, but you did a excellent job to describe what Bette and Tina went through when they lost Oli.
I have full confidence in that this therapist will help Bette and Tina to come to terms with the loss of Oli and give it a place.
For the rest, I can only say that I fully agree with what Martha has written in her comment.
This is definitely one of the best chapters you have written!
I know I don’t always write a comment but I’ll follow your story from the beginning and through to your last chapter!
Thank you, be careful and stay healthy!
Thank you so much for such wonderful words, Bibi!
Although your comments are not frequent, they are always very interesting to read. The feedback is really important to me, and the fact that you gave it this time is so nice. I hope that you will enjoy the continuation of this story no less. Thanks and be careful too!
Ok, it was not easy chapter also.
I like the story about how Tina’s cold reaction on Kit’s death might be subconsciously reaction and even revenge for Bette’s reaction for Oli’s death. I think it’s very trustworthy. – as the story in s3 when i think all Henry story was Tina’s subconsciously revenge to Bette for carpenter.
Yeah, when viewing s3, I had the same thoughts.
Thank you, Zhenya!
Wow! Such an emotional chapter and very well articulated. The depth of these characters is never ending. Great chapter.
Thank you very much! This is so important.
