I don't get sad...

[MrsJ2004]

I drove past the hospital today, and it's weird...I don't get sad when I pass there...the place that Avery died, you'd think that would be my worst place to pass, but I almost have to REMIND myself that that's where it happened...but all the rest of town I get emotions, good and bad...Arby's, the theater, Teriyaki, my mom's house, his parent's house, the roads between there, the high school....everyewhere else, but not the hospital. Just thought that was kinda weird. For as emotional a person I am, you'd think the hospital would get to me...but, the hospital, he was already gone, all that happened there was his body was kept alive, but his spirit was gone already. Avery was already gone.

You know the hospital where my Mom died doesn't really bother me either. Maybe because we choose to block it or maybe it's because that's not really about them. The places that make me sad are the places her and I would go together or the things we would do together. Instead of the hospital making me sad, it's things like, daffodils, the grocery store, her house and her gardens, baking christmas cookies. And you're right, his spirit was already gone, his spirit was with you. Take care hun!

it's weird the hospital where my dad died doesn't get to me either.  almost like we expect to have bad things happen there, kwim?  i even was treated in the same room where i had viewed his dead body 15 years prior.  i knew it at the time too, but was ok with it.  really weird.  but actually he was already dead when he got there too.

it's actually a good sign you are sad so many places!  it shows how ALIVE you are hon!

Feb. 5, 2008 at 8:16 PM Yeah I think because his spirit was gone and you know that there was not any reason for you to connect with the hospital. I can see why you would at other places because you remember thing the two of you did together. I know it must be hard to see places you guys went together and to have so many emotions that are connected to them. LOL

When I had my miscarriages it wasn't the hospital that made me sad either, it was every stinking commercial on TV with someone using a baby to sell something.  My mild mannered husband broke our TV one time after the 5th or 6th billionth baby commercial in a row.  Threw his shoe at it and cracked it.

Someday, hopefully, the very same places that make you cry now will bring a smile as you remember the good times you had there.
