A Conversation With Grief
“Why so sad?”
“Well, it’s you Grief, actually.”
“Oh yeah, it’s kind of my thing.”
“Why do you make people so inconsolable?”
“It’s really Love’s fault. We’re pretty much a package deal. Eventually, you’ll get to know us both quite well.”
“Your timing is terribly inconvenient.”
“Love doesn’t have a regular schedule. It’s a bit hectic for me too, to be honest. I’m very busy, so I’m probably not gonna get better at that.”
“You can be a bit of a bully too, inconsiderate at times.”
“I understand you feel that way. I’ve been called worse in thoughts given no voice. It’s not that I’m being rude, but I can come on pretty strong at times.”
“I get it. I suppose we’ll visit with each other again soon.”
“Oh yes, but people get more comfortable with me as time passes. It’s another one of my things.”
