His plucking turned a little firmer, drawing out one of the bandage ends with his frustrated pain. "It's....not something you can just move past...." The knowledge that she had lost someone before, was one of the only things keeping his voice soft and gentle; that and his unwilling tears. "And you are not a crap friend. Just...don't worry about it."
"
That was a careless choice of words on my part. You are certainly right, we can't just move past it. It becomes a part of us, but we can't let in consume us. We have to get to a level of acceptance and deal with it in a healthier way," she said softly. "
And how can I not worry about it? YOu are like family to me and I have been seperating myself from you for foolish reasons," she said with a sigh.
She blotted at her eyes with the sleeve of her pyjama shirt and looked at him evenly. Placing her hand on his she tried to stop his picking at the bandage. "
Do you want me to tell you how I dealt with losing Auntie Dora?" she asked quietly. She had not really spoken to anyone about this, but for Sabel she would. She would let him know what helped her through arguably the toughest part of her life thus far.
