I have been watching ...What a touching post, Lynda. I have been watching <i>The Leftovers</i>, too. I read the book when it first came out and I am pretty impressed with the way the show has remained true at least to the major premises of the book. The scene you described is one of the most powerful I've seen so far. <br /><br />Sometimes I think it's a shame there aren't ways of magically ridding ourselves of grief, but then I think that the work of learning to live with the grief (rather than surrendering to it completely) is part of fulfilling a sacred, unspoken pact we've made with those who've left us. If that makes any sense--and there's every chance that it makes no sense at all--since very little to do with emotions in general and grief in particular is very logical.Masked Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08197019009052401812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1078324787471983933.post-41842162949357398942014-08-21T10:02:09.160-04:002014-08-21T10:02:09.160-04:00OMG what a post!

Thank you for reminding me of that. It made me think of Joe’s gentle nature. And that is a peaceful thought. <br /><br />I think you might absolutely like “The Leftovers.” lyndagracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530605081989558341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1078324787471983933.post-45008296407869455042014-08-06T07:43:04.750-04:002014-08-06T07:43:04.750-04:00I know what you mean about LOST.

It is, of course, individual. In the past five years, I’ve experienced the loss of too many loved ones. Even though the “norm” is to lose a parent, my mom’s death was and continues to be difficult. <br />But, you are right, the loss of my son has hit me the hardest. <br />Betty, you are so kind. I do appreciate your visits and consoling words.

Nothing can do that.<br /><br />I've skipped this show, but this makes me rethink that decision.Liz A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16531953467834426316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1078324787471983933.post-34631467957767362932014-08-05T20:29:30.883-04:002014-08-05T20:29:30.883-04:00I haven't seen this show, its probably good if...I haven't seen this show, its probably good if I don't get involved in it. We followed LOST a few years back and were always perplexed so I don't need another show like that :)<br /><br />I haven't lost a child, so of course I can't understand your pain and grief . I would imagine it never does get easier and that adage of time heals probably isn't true. I honestly think the worst thing is to lose a child; its "natural" to have our parents pass before us. I think its a parent's biggest fear (my biggest fear). I am sorry you have to be experiencing it.<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.com
