Why have all of the shows lately, all the premiers, been about grieving and being left behind?
Grey;s Anatomy : An intern (Izzy) falls in love with a patient (Paul?). Patient needs a new heart. Intern makes it happen (not quite legally). Patient gets new heart and all is well. They talk about getting married. They talk about the future. They make promises to each other. Everything is good. All is well. Suddenly patient dies. Out of no where. Everything was good, and he dies. Intern starts to grieve, knowing all the promises are finished. What should have been is gone. She feels alone. Feels like she has died. Everything was so good, and then nothing is left. Nothing at all. No more promises of good things. Just pain and nothing.
Ghost Whisperer : Friends. Best Friends. One is slightly weird (Melinda), the other accepting of the weirdness. Plans for the future being formed. Friendship blooming. Life is all good. The accepting one dies, suddenly. The weird one is left, wondering why. Not wanting to accept the other's death. Not knowing what to do. Not having someone to bounce how she feels off of. Not having her friend there to comfort her when she needs it the most. Not knowing how to find closure.
My mom says it is always like that every season. That at the end of every season, someone is dying, or about to die or has died. That every new season, the characters have to deal with the grief. She says that this year it is just so much more apparent to me. That it is just they way TV is, and that i am finding more of my grief as i watch.
Today i am going to pickup Mike's altar box. i will be getting stuff back that was His. i will be getting stuff back that is mine. i am driving myself. Maybe i will call my sister and ask her to drive. i don't know if i can do this on my own. Really not sure. i don't know where i will put it. i know i want it, need it even. So i will be going to get it. Either alone, or with support. i am going to get it.
