Conversations With Marva: I Don’t Feel Like It

  • BlackWomenBlowTheTrumpet · 1 year ago
    Hello there!

    Grief impacts people in different ways...she may look happy in those photos and it may all be a way to HIDE from the pain.

    She may seek attention and not realize how her need for attention is interpreted by others as callousness. It is not EVIL to need attention and affirmation and validation....

    She has lost her mother...her brother and her child.... but we don't know if she loved her mother, her brother or even her own child... we just DO NOT know what the situation was in that family really....

    We will never know...

    What we CAN DO is to pray for her healing because clearly, there is a life time of unhealed issues with this woman....

    Peace, blessings and DUNAMIS!

    Some people don't take life as hard as others. Perhaps that smile is nothing more than a mask. But who is to say what is in that woman's heart. I hear where you are coming from.

    Your last few lines hit home because I was tackling those very thoughts last night and this morning (regarding love of self and others).

    Iagree with Urban thought, some people hide their grief differently. I assume you are right though in the context that some things don't add up....and in the end one of God's precious creatures suffers...sad

    Good stuff as always Marva. The older I get, the less I know and that's a good thing. When I was younger, I would've made snap judgments about this woman. Now I ask the question; what's really going on? The answer? We have no clue @ all because we don't know her.

    This continues to be a sad and tragic situation that I cannot even fathom the level of grief that exists.

    All I can say is that different peole grieve differently for all we know this woman has lost her mind.

    Lisa - I have decided to give her the benefit of the doubt and believe that this is her way of dealing with the pain...and it is strictly because I don't know otherwise (because what I see is showing me something different)...

    Urban - I struggle with those thoughts on the regular...

    Dee - When all is said and done, three people lost their lives...so no matter what is going on with this woman, that is the realness of this situation and you are right; it is very sad...

    Danielle - Thanks...I was thinking the exact same thing. I had to step back and look at this situation from a view of an outsider looking in, because that is what I am. I don't know this chick; I don't know her heart or mind or spirit or soul, and I'm not in this life to pass judgement on anyone...

    Mike - You could be right...who knows?

    I agree I that though she seems quite inappropriate in her actions, who knows ho the mind reacts. I don't know enough about her before hand to judge.

    I know folks are giving her the benefit of the doubt, but I'm sorry, something is very wrong here and someone needs to find out what it is, stat. This is some Jon Benet Ramsey shit.

    A seven year old is dead, shot in the head, and we need to know why, eff that!

    That whole last paragraph - you just don't know how much it resonated with me. I'll just say we are ><

    I am still trying to wait to hear more details on this but I have a VERY unsettled feeling about it. The thing is, I don't want that to be one more thing that Jennifer has to deal with. I mean how much could one person possibly take? I mean really. :sad: I know you're not supposed to question Him but I just don't know.

    Viv - I think we are all waiting with bated breath to hear more on this case...the unsettled feelings abound, I'll say...
