When great loss comes, all we know is to try to get back to normal, and just go

numb and make it to the next day.  We do not want to engage anyone really and we wish we could somehow insulate ourselves from the hurt.

If for a few years we put all our hope and trust in one person, and now all that person had to say seems empty and meaningless, yes we need to get back to normal, and just not make waves and hopefully go unnoticed.
