When The Messenger Is Hot (2003) - Plot & Excerpts
NATURALLY, THERE ARE PEOPLE who think I need counseling. They tell me that I’m in denial. They say I’m here for you. They say You can call anytime just to talk. They suggest groups. They say There are support groups for what you are going through. Believe me, I wish there were. They suggest other things. Yoga. Transcendental meditation. Reiki. Sacrocranial massage. Medication. They say, You should go to a spa. Take a vacation. Take a class. They look at me with their heads tilted. They give me earnest looks. They say, Three years is a long time, it might be time to let go. I’m not angry with them. Some of them have lost people too. But there’s something they don’t understand. My mother is coming back. I realize that this doesn’t happen often. They give me books. I have read the Kubler-Ross book. Okay well, to be honest I read it in college. This time I just kind of skimmed it — denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance. As I said, the collective belief is that I’m stuck in the denial phase when in fact, my belief is that this is just a big mistake that will eventually be straightened out.
