My office is on the 7th floor, and my chair backs the window; occasionally, when I need to decompress, I turn around and look out the window. On this day, a staff came into my office to talk to me and commented on how good and happy I looked, I smiled and thanked her. As soon as she left, I looked out the window again and realized how sad I truly was because I was just thinking about how much I miss my sister.
In looking out the window, I thought about the staff’s comment on how happy and content I looked, but in actuality I was very sad.
Even when I am smiling, I am still sad. In grieving, people see the outside and what we want them to see but only if they knew what was going on in your mind or head.;Grieving is everyday and unending. It does not get better; we just learn to live with it, which is why people see us and think we are doing fine; they are on the outside looking in.
Overall, we are all outsiders looking in; we never see the full picture when standing outside. You have to be on the inside to see or know what is happening even at that no one can relate to or understands what you are going through (vice versa) because they are not you, and you are not them. We are all outside looking in.
