Self mutilation always seems to me like a strange way to deal with grief, and that’s not to say people don’t do it all the time. Good story, twisted but good.

I dunno, Tad, in some ways I think there’s a bit of logic behind it, the feeling of being left behind and sad, and maybe there’s guilt from not being able to say goodbye, depending on circumstances, or so many other things…this is beautiful writing, too. Absolutely stunning.

People deal with greif in some odd ways, this is only because there is no one at the moment it happends to help them through the process. When you are hurting, your mind tells you to do the first thing that brings relief. this story is great way to exspress somone going through that process. I just hope the out come was that they recieved help.
