It is so difficult to be honest when someone has died; it's as if truth stops at the grave even when the lies continue to hurt the living.
The quote from Celeste De Blasis's "Wild Swan" reflects the complexity of dealing with truth and honesty after someone's passing. It suggests that when a loved one dies, the act of being truthful becomes challenging. The burial of honesty seems to coincide with the grave, creating a barrier that complicates the grieving process.
This feeling is compounded by the reality that unspoken truths or lies can continue to affect those left behind. The emotional impact of these unacknowledged truths can linger and create further pain, highlighting the struggle between the desire for honesty and the weight of grief.
