    Chapter 17 – Only together, only forward

     

    Tina smiled and looked at Bette. ”Do you think you can?”

     

    ”Only if you take me to some uninhabited island with no connection to the outside world. I can’t imagine that I don’t work so hard every day. It’s some kind of drug, really”

     

    ”Yeah, I haven’t met that super person yet who you can trust to do all the work, just to make some adjustments sometimes” 

     

    ”God, Tee, I’m starting to panic at the words. No, there is no such person yet”

     

    They ate, Bette put her feet up on the sofa and stretched them out, while Tina put her hands on Bette’s shins, stroking them lightly over the top of her trousers.

     

    ”I left the session. I couldn’t talk about it for more than twenty minutes” Tina looked at her partner sadly.

     

    ”Oh, baby… twenty minutes is a big step” Bette bent her head and touched Tina’s hand, gently covering It.

     

    ”How did you manage to survive several meetings already? How is this possible?”

     

    Bette shrugged her shoulders and looked away from Tina. ”It seemed impossible until I forced myself to speak. But I’ve been carrying this for five years”

     

    ”I can’t believe it’s been five years” Tina moved closer to Bette and rested her head on her shoulder. She looked at their intertwined fingers and continued talking while Bette hugged her. ”I have a strange feeling. It’s like that night was very recent and at the same time it feels like it happened in another life”

     

    ”Yeah, I also experience something similar. Do you think all this therapy will lead to something good?”

     

     ”I just don’t see any other options” 

     

    Bette turned her head and kissed the top of Tina’s head. ”What did you have time to talk about today?”

     

    ”We talked more about you and us than about Oli. When we got to talking about her, I just … well, I couldn’t say anything. It looked so stupid. It’s like someone made me go there instead of me wanting to”

     

    ”Tee, this is absolutely not stupid. It’s normal that you can’t just talk about such a difficult topic in the first session. You came there to learn how to talk about it”

    1. 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.

    2. 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!

    3. 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.
