Almost Surely Dead

by Amina Akhtar

How do you grieve someone who hated you?

Most of the questions patients had for me could be googled. But I answered them. Because that’s what you did.

Me, everyday at work. 🙄

No one ever tells you how to get through grief, how to not let it take over your life. Because it does. Every part of your life is hit. And sometimes, just when you think you’re turning a corner, months after your loved one died, you get hit by something new all over again. It doesn’t stop. You just have to learn how to live with it, until the pain of them not being in your life anymore becomes a dull ache.
