Does cooking Brussels sprouts express enough anger? 

Does drinking a third glass of wine and then a forth one?

Does keeping it inside like I am trying can help?

Why not to scream?

Does seating and eating dinner steam out enough anger?

No, it doesn’t ..and yet....I am doing it....

 

And I am so angry...

I am so angry..

I am so fucking angry....

I am so angry and I don’t know how to express my anger...and then why?

 

 

I am angry with everything I can be possibly angry with...

I am angry with the people who are selfish and stupid and bastard and unnerving and uncaring ......because she is not like this...

I am angry with everybody who hurt her because she never hurt me.

I am angry with everybody who hurt her because she never hurt anybody.

I am angry.....

So angry....

I don’t even know why I am writing this to you....

 

Who are you?

Do I know you like I know her?

Do I love you like I love her?

Do I belong to you as I belong to her?

I know her by more than half of my life..

 

We buried together her lover, my father, mine and her girlfriend, my sister, she supported me during my divorce.

I told her "Congratulations, you are going to be the youngest grandma ever"....only last month.........

A baby is coming to this life but we buried together all those people...

They are gone, we remained......

We said to each other...

“We will get old together and will finish our lives in a pretty home in Tuscany”....

Yes, my dear...this is our silly dream...don’t you dare dying before our dream will be reality.....

 

But.....what the fuck is wrong with the world?

What the fuck is wrong with our food, our air, our bodies, our water?

What the fuck is wrong with me?

 

I am cursed to have anybody in my life being stripped away from me like this?

 

No one will remain to be by my side?

 

I am angry and I think the wine is working......

 

She called me and she told me she has ovarian cancer...

 

She told me....”Don’t you cry now or I will not tell you anything more”

But I did cry.....and I told her.

“Please, give me a moment. I can’t breath”.

I covered up the phone and I cried.

 

But she was waiting for me and I pushed the tears back.....

I was shivering like it was minus zero in the room....my voice was stuttering.....I couldn’t think straight.....I had to look in the dictionary to translate for her the word flaxseed..

 

She said.....”You know I have these moments.... I feel so alone.”

 

And so, call me, write me, fly here, use me ...but don’t you dare dying on me, my friend.

 

I don’t know if I can take this again.....again...

 

This is my fourth call from Italy with such horrible news ...

Now I am angry...

Angry for this call and for all the previous ones....

Don’t even start to console me....

Don’t tell its ok...

It’s no ok.....

 

Just take this stupid life and use it.....just do something with it...

Don’t answer the phone anymore....

 

Luckily my daughter is not here tonite.....

I can be angry.

Let me be angry.

 

She is going to be ok. She is a wonderful fighter.

I want believe this.

 

But tonite.........let me be angry.

    My mom had several bouts of lymphoma in her life and conquered them all with chemotherapy. Her doctors always said she did unusually well. She always took lots of vitamins to help her stay strong internally.

    Ginger, love, I can only say I understand.  There is so much wrong with this world. . .honestly, I wish I did not have to face any of it.  But I cannot deny believing that we are here for a purpose, even if it is help to carry the load of those suffering.  I wish I could take all those I love and wrap them in cotton wool and keep them safe.  When you anger subsides you will carry on giving encouragement. . .that's what she needs, she needs you to be there for her.  I will pray for her.
     
    Your friend, Polar

  • Mr_Box said on Nov 25, 2007....

    I'm really sorry to hear this. And I understand your anger. Dealing with pain and loss and potential loss is devastating.

    And anger is one emotion that a lot of people feel guilty for feeling. But you shouldn't. Let it out. Be angry. It's okay to feel like that.

    I hope that your friend manages to beat this and pull through. My thoughts are with you both.

     

  • travelr712 said on Nov 25, 2007....
    like everyone else said, be angry, be very, very angry. yell, scream, break something! be angry, and then listen when your friends tell you it's time to stop being angry, so you don't get stuck there.

    {{{{{{{{{Thank you all}}}}}}}}}}

    You made me feel less lonely while reading your comments....thank you.

    I know that many of us had experienced the same tragedies ....many of us have seen their loved ones die ...many are worried about others ...

    We are a great community and we do group around the ones in need of support and tenderness.

    I am feeling this tenderness now like many other times i was in need.... 

    I feel your caring thoughts and i couldn't be more grateful for them..

    I will keep you posted here and there about my friend...the ironic twist is that just two days ago i was writing a post about her and me when we were young ....in college...studying Kant and Adorno and Cartesio...she has two degress, that brainy girl.....i will finish it asap......

    I do feel better this morning.....it has been a bad night....but you can find me around as the usual me......usually hiding my feelings very well ..... 

    {{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}

  • botoni said on Nov 25, 2007....
    Ginger! Everyone has said all the wise words there are to say. I can only add this...if I were in a situation that threatened my life I would want you to be my friend and confidant. You have your anger now, and rightly so, but you also have the strength and love to walk through this path with her. Together you can win a victory over this dreadful thing. God bless you, Ginger, and give you strength.

  • secretlife said on Nov 25, 2007....

    ginger:  life doesn't seem fair some days. 

    i'm so sorry about your friend. 

    you have every right to be angry and to rage against the unfairness of this world.

    It's so hard to keep fighting....i know.

    but it's all we can do........life is so precious, that we somehow find the strength within ourselves despite our fear and our anger and our sadness to fight for it.

    you'll never stand alone sweet ginger. 

    not now and not in some distant future....

     

     

  • wakingharmony said on Nov 25, 2007....
    Just stopped in to give you {{{{{{{ginger}}}}}}} & see how you were today. I am so glad you have soo many friends. Friends are like band-aids sometimes. They try to protect you and guard you from further pain. Bless you Ging.....
  • uniquely-ironic said on Nov 25, 2007....
    Fucking Cancer!
     
    You have every right to be angry with it.  You go fight with your friend and do not give into it.
     
    No amount of logic can cure the hurt and injury that cancer brings to a person and their loved ones.  I'm sure you will be a good and strong ally as she fights the cancer and hopefully wins over it.
     
  • silverwhisper said on Nov 25, 2007....
    i am so sorry to learn this, GS. you sound a lot more under control now than you were last night, and i hope that this means that you've worked through your anger now.

    I'm here for you too Gingery!  I love you.  I think you responded the same way D did when I told her.

    it's ok to be angry right now.

    {HUUUUUUGS}
  • MissMimi said on Nov 25, 2007....

    I'm so sorry to hear this , ginger.  It's okay to get angry.  Sometimes shitty things happen in life that have no rhyme or reason.  We just have to be there for each other and get through it as best we can. 

    I know you have the strength to lend to your friend.  But it just sucks that you have to.  {{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}

  • lioneljay said on Nov 25, 2007....
    Ginger,

    Life isn't fair. Life is hard and just when we think we cannot take any more of its random, absurd tricks, it plays another on us that we know we must somehow bear. Because that is much of what life is all about: surviving the absurdity and passing on a sense of grace to our children.

    You do have that grace. I know it. And I'm sure that your daughter knows it too. So go ahead: be angry, do not go quietly through your days, do rant and rail until you are free of the pain. At least for now. And when it mounts again, come back and rant some more.

    We have iron ears and soft hugs here for you whenever you need them.
  • crybabylu said on Nov 25, 2007....
    I have been really angry only twice in my life.  1) When 9/11 happened, and I still have trouble with that.  2) when my dad died.  I wrote a what I call, "hate" letter to God, blaming him for the tragic life my dad had to live and dying at an early age of 54.  You wouldn't believe how "theraputic" that letter was for me.  I think people walk around angry, and don't know where to direct it.  I knew God could handle it, so I directed it towards him.....lol, dee
  • openclose said on Nov 25, 2007....
    Be angry.  Get it out.  Let it go.  Then you will be better prepared to support.

  • pookiedookie said on Nov 25, 2007....

     

    gingersoul - I've only been angry a few times in my life.  Anger has only one purpose that I know of, and that is ..to movtivate you to action...So, if the anger you are feeling right now has the power to motivate you in a positive direction, then let it...but if it has the power to  make you bitter,  then my sweet ginger, let it go.....

    please know I am here for you, and I care what you are going thru...I love you, gingersoul......Duke

  • ellamae14 said on Nov 26, 2007....
    ging: I'm here too. Try to find reason and balance. You have the right to be angry, life is not fair, but we don't always have to be unhappy because of it. Your love for life always sustain those who lacks it. You have made a difference just by being you. That's why people are always drawn to you. Use it, and don't ever lose it. Red wine is cheap, try lambanog. :) find reasons to be happy ok.
  • Lioness said on Nov 26, 2007....
    Ginger, here's sending you {{African lilies and roses}} to appease the anger.. I am sure no one would ever come close to your friend, but always remember, there's always a rainbow after the rain.. 
  • moyz said on Nov 27, 2007....
