My mom is dying. She's 83, and had a pretty massive stroke a couple weeks ago. I'm not shocked, just really sad. My marriage is dying. It's 11 years old and I'm not shocked, just really disappointed. Between the two, I'll take the "linear grief" of a dying relative over whatever the FUCK all these feelings and emotions, highs and lows, hope and suffocation of a marriage dying in slow motion. Thanks for listening.
