This post is a vent for my frustration, my helplessness and anger at the same time. Frustrated because I see yet another person not ready to accept the facts of life and making a mess out of her life. Helpless because I am not being able to do much for her. And angry with the one who is responsible for all this!
They say that there are five stages of grief (I read this some time back!) – Denial, Anger, Desperation, Depression and Acceptance.
As per what I have seen around, it is most difficult for people to come out of the first. They like to be in a state of denial because they like fooling themselves and building false hopes. Because they fear the third and fourth stage. But why don’t they understand its doing them no good. Why do they make their lives hell for someone who just doesn’t deserve it? Why do they want to put aside even the whitest of truths and live on with their own assumptions? Why can’t they see something which is as clear as crystal?
They are ready to wait forever…but for whom?! Someone who has already moved on…leaving you far behind!
I know dear, it’s easier said than done. But at least give it a try, a full-hearted one! C’mon… I know you can do it! Go search for that silver lining…go get it!
that was a wonderful post sakshi!
but then, some people never learn no matter how much u tell them!
Time has to change things in their life!

Thanks impressionist. I know there’s no point telling them anything because they are just not in a state of mind to understand…but then it makes you feel so helpless if that someone is close to your heart!
