“Here. Where I am anonymous and alone in a white room with no history and no parading. So I can make something unknown in the shape of this room. Where I am King of Corners. ”
―Michael Ondaatje
How have you re-made yourself during a time of emptiness?
During my Mom’s final illness or leaving the world event, I was accustomed to being responsible for her needs a good bit of time. When this happens I have heard from others that at after a death as this kind, there is a personal emptiness which is in some ways unexpected. It takes an effort to integrate this change into the grieving time too. However, since my Mom and I loved each other to the end, I was then able to go on to new activities that fill my life quite well. Emptiness doesn’t need to stay that way for very long when it is a situation such as this one.
