Anger

I'm told that grief has several well-defined stages. One of these is anger.

I can testify that this is true. This disease is cruel in what it does to the body; any military organization that did even a fraction of this to a prisoner would be guilty of war crimes.

Anger is one of the Seven Deadly Sins, deserving an entire ring of Hell in The Inferno.

Bless me, Father, for I have sinned ...

  1. God bless your father, on his journey.

    Weep not for the dead, for they are beyond the care of the world; but for the living, who must go on without them.

  4. Whatever you think you shouldn't say.

    Whatever you think you won't say.

    Whatever you think you can't say.

    Say it.

  5. Sorry to hear it. Been there. All I can say is take what comfort you can that the pain is over for him, and you will meet again. . . .

  6. I'm so sorry, Borepatch.

    And I'll reiterate. If you need or want someone to talk to, or just vent to, you have the number.

    Godspeed, Papa Borepatch.

  7. I wish I had words to comfort you, but from experience I know that there are none. Things will get better, although it probably doesn't seem that way today.

  8. I really don't know anything to say that would ease the pain of your loss. I'm sorry and you and your family are in my prayers.

  9. I haven't the words to offer to make it better, but hope you know that there are lots of folks out here who're thinking of you and yours.
