She was a close cousin from the Christian half of my family, and some of my relatives are a part of that "old-time religion" you hear about where suicide is a one-way ticket to hell and doesn't even earn a proper funeral or a burial with the rest of the family. Others just didn't want to face what happened. And some, like me, got angry about all of it while we were also miserable and guilty. … [Read more...] about Love will hurt you, but it will also make you whole again
