她闭上了眼睛,默默地继续说,她得到的单词可能会舒缓,这将开始治愈死去的父母的言语。当她进入厨房时,她已经看到了已经分裂的男人和妻子的悲伤的鸿沟,每个人都深深地陷入了自己悲惨的痛苦中,都不知道对对方说些什么。她知道,开始谈论发生的事情是承认他们损失的关键,而这种接受反过来将是一种持续几天和几个月的手段。
(She closed her eyes, silently continuing the pleas that she be given words that might soothe, words that would begin the healing of bereaved parents. She had seen, when she entered the kitchen, the chasm of sorrow that divided man and wife already, each deep in their own wretched suffering, neither knowing what to say to the other. She knew that to begin to talk about what had happened was a key to acknowledging their loss, and that such acceptance would in turn be a means to enduring the days and months ahead.)
在杰奎琳·温斯佩尔(Jacqueline Winspear)的《真理使者》(Messenger of Messenger of Truth)的这段话中,一名妇女反映了死去的父母所经历的深刻的悲伤。她在厨房里观察了他们的情感距离,每个人都孤立地与他们的悲伤斗争,对如何相互交流感到不确定。她对舒缓词的渴望突显了她对康复过程中语言力量的理解。
讨论他们的悲剧的行为被描绘为承认自己的痛苦并最终找到应对损失的方法的关键步骤。通过认识到他们的共同的悲伤,这对夫妇可能会开始漫长的康复旅程,表明悲伤的接受可以在随后的几天和几个月内为情感韧性铺平道路。
