Dealing with Loss
I've always wondered about people and how they deal with loss. Some people are strong or at least seem strong in public, but mourn in private. Others can let it out emotionally no matter where they are, showing the world their sadness at the loss of someone so dear. Our hero, Linsora, is a very strong woman, but even at a time like this her actions can be unpredictable and erratic. How do you act when you experience a loss? See if what Linsora experiences sounds familiar to you in this short excerpt.
Book Excerpt
Khizara
She had no tears left. Her face felt stiff with the salty remains of those she had shed during the night. No need to wash them off. No need to feel anything anymore, except empty. Her mother didn’t spend an undue period mourning her father, but then they had both lived long lives together. And her mother had died soon after her father, so perhaps she did mourn. Linsora had cried private tears at both of their deaths, she remembered, but never - NEVER - had she felt like this. There had always been hope, something bright and beckoning ahead. Now, right now, she thought, there is nothing: no sadness, no anger, no prospect for joy, and most of all, no energy left to spend on anything.
