It seems that the road for Michelle's mom is getting shorter and the next part of the journey for the family is right around the bend. It is going to be a very difficult time, more difficult than it is now? I don't know. But difficult nonetheless. Grieving is not easy, but it is necessary. What makes it even more difficult is that everyone does it in their own way. So it is hard to try to help someone when you may not understand how it is they are grieving. The most important thing is to be observant, considerate, and available. It takes care to pick up the signs and signals of what a person can do to help one who is grieving.
I thought this was interesting. Evan today had a speaker in class. It was a nurse from WakeMed. The class received a coloring book that shows th parts of the hospital and it was accompanied by a video about the hospital. Why did I think it was so interesting? I had not heard of there being a speaker of this type planned for the class. I am wondering if this isn't an effort by the counselor at Evan's school to try and make things more comfortable for him and the other students in the class. That is, the counselor may not know that Evan's grandma is in not in the hospital but requested a visit in case Evan needed to go see her in a hospital. This way he would not have to be frightened by the experience. Or, I could just be reaching too far and this was scheduled.
