That feeling of sadness that you can't shake is the worse. At least if you are really sad you can have a good cry, or if you're angry you can go hit something, but the sadness blahs just hang on you and wear you down. I hope that you can shake it soon. This was a beautiful and eloquent post. thank you.

I loved the passage about how Death will sit and talk about Caitlin with you.<br />But sadness, sadness just has me with my arms down at my sides, going limp. <br />I tend to hold on to anything that isn't sadness, just to feel something. Even pissed seems preferable to me most of the time.<br />Much love xoCatherine Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01618295389400457254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3947970258738180998.post-53479494778995345962010-01-25T12:02:51.799-05:002010-01-25T12:02:51.799-05:00I am so sorry for your sadness. {{{hugs}}}I am so sorry for your sadness. {{{hugs}}}Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02940842982543866147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3947970258738180998.post-45397769810816931802010-01-24T23:03:02.236-05:002010-01-24T23:03:02.236-05:00Yes.

Yes, sadness is like a sponge, oozing and dripping and sucking all at the same time. And I do often feel guilty for feeling so sad when others, all over the world, have it far worse than me.
