Just plain angry


These long holiday weekends can lead to feelings of sadness, depression even anxiety.  Most of us widows hate them.  But this Memorial Day I was angry. 

I was angry at Lane because I had to change the propane tank on the grill.  I was angry at my Mom for dying (at 94) and leaving me parent-less.  I was angry at my sister-in-law who always waits for me to call her ("I'd call but I don't want to bother you").  I was angry at my friend in California who has been flying under the radar for months now.  I could go on because everything and everyone made me angry.

But I guess most of all I was angry with myself.  Angry that I am not more social.  Angry that after 6 years I still  imagine Lane walking through the front door.  And angry that I get angry for being emotional.

Well it's Tuesday morning.  Weekend is over and so is my anger.  Have a good week.

What makes you angry?
