Just because they don’t cry, does that mean that they don’t
hurt? People tell you to be a “big boy” and stop crying; so you do. Does it
change the fact that you feel hurt deep down inside? Does the fact that you
never shed a tear invalidate how you feel inside? Does it mean that you never
need to be comforted, never need to be coddled, never need a shoulder to lean
on?
What you define as “normal” doesn’t change the fact that it
might still hurt. Death is a normal occurrence. It’ll happen to everyone
without fail. Why is it insensitive to say “Oh, it’s just a normal thing
(death). Don’t think too much about it” yet completely fine to dismiss that
glimmer of possibility that any other normal occurrence might hurt someone?
