He’d been holding it together pretty well until today. We were sitting on the couch, watching the movie Pearl Harbor when he finally broke down. He cried in my arms for hours. After that, he locked himself in his room and left me alone in his family room. I wasn’t sure what I was supposed to do, leave him be or console him? I’d never really been one who people went to for consoling. I hated to see people who I loved hurt, but I never knew how to help them through the pain. I was the awkward friend who internally wanted to hug you and take all the pain away. In real life though, I sat there and usually held their hand, telling them that they were strong, that they would get through this, and that I’d be there for them. I wasn’t sure if it helped at all but for Tate, I had a need to make him feel better. And really, who was good at dealing with death and loss? If it was easy for you, then maybe the love wasn’t really there. There were those who became so numb that they blocked out all emotion, but how long would that last?
