Should tell the story? Do you want to hear what happened now that I know everything and then how it happened? Or the other way around? Long or keep it simple? Should I downplay the frankly unbelievable parts?
I can't write it now. I'm in the house where she used to live with me, melting down. Calling her name and asking where she is, telling her what I'm doing and asking if she needs anything. That kind of madness.
I need to do laundry. I'm doing it like I always do, goddamnit.
This is a really well written post. It really affected me today. Then I was laying in bed all existential tonight, not sleeping, like someone I knew died this morning. I want to say I love all you guys and everything, but come on. We all know you're pretend internet people. It's a great post, laudablepuss, because it's like a poem or something, captures that feeling one has, it's horrible and I know the feelings. The specific time, the anger in the last word.
You did do the fucking laundry, this is good, even if it's autopilot. I think you'll be okay, I hope you will. Some people can't even do the fucking laundry. Did you wonder if you should even do... her laundry? Yes, of course you must, even if it's all destined for Goodwill. I know somebody talked about doing their spouse's laundry one last time, folding it all one last time, using the laundry to cope.
You have to deal with the house, and all her stuff, all the things where she left them, and the smells like she shouldn't be gone. It is like some madness. I think about how the ancients would take people and bury them with their shit, prehistoric people living on the brink. An axe would be such an important thing of value, something that could mean survival and death, but fuck it, get rid of all their shit! They knew. The ancients knew fuck the axe, keeping it around is too hard. People will box the stuff today, and there's so much stuff to box and get rid of, none of us really think about it as we go though life accumulating so much shit. If you're lucky you missed something the right thing because it's nice to have something you can hide away and take out the right time to remember them.
And the funerals are rough, loved ones trying to put on a face for all the friends, and struggle through it. And friends showing up thinking they're helping but they're just all a pain in the ass. So what's the point. Maybe funerals are to find somebody sincere and get them to help you box shit, because that's what's the hard part to do alone.
Hope everything gets better. |
