Silent friends in a life storm
Dear Annalisa,
My dad died unexpectedly a few months ago and I feel angry with some of my oldest friends, who have hardly contacted me since it happened.
Three months on, I’ve finally heard from some of them through text about other matters. I didn’t mention my sad stories, and they didn’t ask.
I understand that death is a frightening subject and that people might worry about saying the wrong thing. Yet I still feel a bit hurt by their lack of contact after my dad’s funeral (葬礼).
Now I don’t want to face them because I don’t want to make them feel guilty (内疚的). Normally they are extremely good friends who I love very much. I have other friends, so I can manage this without their support. I just want to let go of the anger so I can get through this sadness. Hope to receive your advice.
Yours,
Amy
Dear Amy,
I’m so sorry to hear about your dad’s death.
Your anger may come from being unable to ask for the help you need. You also seem worried about troubling your friends too much.
It is likely that your friends are very concerned about you. Perhaps their own fear of the subject is too big to comfort you and, just as you say, they are frightened of saying the wrong thing. Also, people often want to “fix” things, but no one can fix death, so they may feel powerless to help you. In these situations, you have to be brave to break the ice and tell them not only what you need, but also how to offer help.
If you really can’t ask your “silent” friends for help, maybe you could count more on those other friends. You might find some psychological (心理的) treatment useful as well. Talking to someone with professional knowledge who understands your situation can help you carry the burden of sadness.
Yours,
Annalisa

Sometimes, we just get a feeling. It sets us on guard and shapes our responses, if we are wise enough to listen. I definitely had it when I stepped out of the main building of the community college at 8:30 in the evening. I looked up and noted it was going to rain, and probably hail (冰雹), any minute. I lived in the country six miles away, so I knew I’d better hurry. After jogging to my car, I jumped in and headed for home. Martin McBride belted out “Wild Angels” from the CD player.
As I drove a few blocks away, the rain slowly started to fall, and I knew a storm was coming. I quickly began thinking of places nearby to pull in for cover until the worst had passed. Two blocks away was Parsons Motors, which had a large metal awning (雨蓬) that would shelter me. I decided I would stop to see if there was room for my car. But as I prepared to turn into the drive, a strong sense of fear washed over me, and an inner voice said, “No, just keep going and get home as fast as you can.”
So that’s what I did. Martina kept singing, and I kept on driving. There were only a few cars in front of me, all moving west down Main Street into a wall of pouring rain and strong wind. The last thing I saw clearly were the sudden brake lights of the cars in front of me as each stopped and turned onto the shoulder of the highway. I quickly followed. I sat shocked and somewhat frightened, as the wind and rain rocked my car. I could hardly make out the hood (引擎声) of my car as all my other surroundings disappeared into the darkness.

I took a deep breath, as I struggled to figure what my father had said.我热泪盈眶，只能说：“我刚从那边来。
