I think I was numb all day. I kept reading article after article trying to make sense of it. Trying to remind myself that it was real.
Late tonight I looked away for a moment and the true weight of it hit me. And I was so sad. Just so, so sad. Gutted. Hollow. Grieving.
I sobbed. For a long time.
I think it need to feel this. I think I need to let myself feel this deep pain.
And once I’ve felt it. Once I’ve let myself fall into it, so that I can come back out of it, then I will feel the anger. The rage.
And then I can do something about it. With it.
I have to do something with it. Or it will make me insane. The grief and the rage will destroy me.
They are white hot and burning.
Yup. My husband accused me of being an angry person yesterday, and I didn’t even know how to respond to him. YES, yes I was angry yesterday. And disappointed and shocked and so, so sad. What a mess.
Never stop reminding the world that that we do not allow any person to use another’s body against their will, not even for their own survival, and that if a fetus is a person, they should not get more rights than anyone else.
saw this today. did not get a source.
I read over a week ago some lawsuits are already underway based on religious freedom re religions whose traditions date back to well before the Common Era. As I have said repeatedly…… vote. Act to get out the vote. IN EACH AND EVERY ELECTION. and help me to not feel hollow because I always every time vote and yet…….
Because I am at the end of my resources, I still can’t feel what I expect to feel – rage, grief, more rage. And more rage.
While still numb, I did donate to abortion funds, but I will need to do more once I’m well enough to think straight again.
