So Im not the only one. I get it. But always attributed the dissolution of my family to the series of deaths that occurred - my grandfather and then, suddenly and unexpectedly, the death of my brother and then my Grandmother in the same year. Without the hieracical portion of my family, the family seemed to fall away, like the branches of the trees without the trunk.
Ive lloked at these things with precision. Ive prodded and poked from my side of the magnifying glass. Ive spent thousands of dollars on therapy and hours on analysis and pondeerment. It was a natural assumption - that all that death would take its toll on what was otherwise a pleasant and casual comradery. Death was easy to blame
Years of therapy have taught me that the sudden and unexpected death of a sibling causes tsunami of emotions, a few extra wrinkles and grey hairs.
