Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

When my mom passed, people would try to comfort me by saying that at least she was no longer in pain. I wanted to snap at them, growl at them, that I wasn't crying for *her*; I knew she was past pain and was glad of it. I was crying for *me*, cuz I didn't want her to be gone. I think everybody here can identify with that. We're glad Jacqueline is no longer suffering, but we're absolutely gutted that she's gone.

So much love and peace to you, David, and Matilda, and Emmett, and everyone whose life is better because she was in it.

Relieved and heartbroken needs a word of its own, I think.

It does. Love, comfort, and peace to all of you, David.

And such gratitude for Jacqueline's amazing, beautiful existence and all the lives she touched.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I've hit the listening to sad music stage of the day. Possibly predictably.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Welp. I found the place where Matilda lost her shit.

When they came to take the body.

“I don’t want them to take her!”

“I don’t want to leave! I don’t want to leave!”

“It’s not fair! I don’t want them to take her!”

Sobbing. Sobbing. Sobbing the whole time.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh my heart. Yeah, that’s…yeah.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Oh, poor sweet Matilda. I hate like hell that she has to go through this. It's so fucking unfair.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Oh Matilda. My heart aches for her.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Oh god, my heart just breaks for her. Poor thing. And for you, having to help guide her through it. It's too much.
