Absolutely stunned that Joel was killed off in just the second episode of new season of The Last Of Us. I had no idea this was coming - the trailers didnāt give anything away. Watching that brutal scene unfold was not just shocking, it was utterly heartbreaking. And Ellieās reactionā¦ it all hit so hard. I couldn't believe what I was watching, or that the creators thought this was a good idea. Iām still trying to wrap my head around it and process the grief. Joel felt like the huge heart of the story, and losing him so early in the season has left me, well, deflated. Along with the reported half-million viewers that have just dropped out of the show, I'm doubting my will to continue without the dynamic that got me hooked in the first place. If anyone else is feeling this pain too, know youāre not alone. Clearly the show is going to be completely different without Joel. And clearly this is not the show we signed up for...
Twisted in Knots
Ever get that sinking feeling in your gut that anything you have done in the past has been wiped clean from peopleās memory? Like it never happened? Like you never were? The grief that stems from that goes marrow deep.
I admit I have been one of those that moves on from the grief of others too quickly or has been critical of their (what I thought) prolonged grief process. Shame of me for that attitude.
Because as much as I wish it could, grief never ever travels in a straight line. Itās more a twisted ball of twine with more knots than straight up twine. And when the grief-stricken is left thinking unraveling the knots is entirely up to them or worse yet, no one seems to remember the knots or the one who is untying the knotsā¦the pain goes incredibly deep.Ā Ā
People tend to move on from hard things in life as quickly as possible because of the very fact it is hard. I know I do. The problem with this is the one who was hurt or is grieving canāt move on as quickly or easily. Thus, the pain is doubled because it appears the rest of the world is 10 steps ahead and is ignoring the fact you fell down 10 steps ago and are simply struggling to stand. The world would prefer you simply catch up on your own, and quickly, no matter how hurt you are.
I get that for anyone to remain sane, people need movement forward. But to help those trying to get through the grieving process, acknowledgement of that grief from time to time would bring such balm to the soul. It lets the one grieving see they havenāt been forgotten in the shuffle of life. That what they did, who they are, what they continue to do and be matters.
I can attest to the fact that time a great healer of hurt and grief. But it never goes away entirely. It turns into more a dull ache that rears its head at the oddest times. The struggle always remains in the background. Not a pretty reality, but reality just the same. Oh that we could be a people that grieves well and deeply together, bringing streams of peace to the hurting soul.Ā
