Loss
“Harry, suffering like this proves you are still a man! This pain is part of being human-” “THEN-I-DON’T-WANT-TO-BE-HUMAN!” Harry roared. – p. 824, OotP
So. Has any one ever felt this before? I know I sure have.

Far too many times. I’m unfortunately rather skilled at shoving my emotions so far down that I seen mechanical when I’ve been dealt a particularly deep blow.
What made you bring that particular quote up? Did something happen?

For some reason, I have not felt this way when someone I love has died. I see death as part of life, and even though it hurts, it’s not that bad.
However, I did feel like that once–when Ferni and I broke up a couple of years ago. I was so sure that we were meant to be together and I was head over heels for him… But for reasons that were outside our control, we had to break up. It really felt like my heart had been taken out of my chest. It might sound a bit melodramatic, but it’s true. I wanted to be numb and not have to go through it…
Luckily, our story ended in a ring on our right hands. And maybe because I have lost him before, I KNOW how much he means to me… For sure.

Tita: I think I know that feeling. Unfortunately, where you were years ago is not dissimilar to where I am right now. It is part of being human, but sometimes being human is hard.

P.S. I am so glad that you have that ring on your finger!

I didn’t feel this way when losing my Grandpa… maybe because I was younger at the time.
But sometimes I feel this way at night, when I think about losing my mother. It terrifies me, and I lose it completely.
I hope you feel better Andrew. *hug*

I felt this way when my best friends just kind of ditched me two years ago. My parents tried to confront me the other day, and since I had been holding it in for so long, I just started screaming at them. =[

Laura, I totally get what you are saying. Sometimes (for whatever reason) I just imagine what it would be like to lost my mom. I sincerely don’t think I could take it. Just THINKING about it makes me cry uncontrollably. Oh gosh, now I’m tearing up a bit…

My mom had cancer a year ago, and that was the scariest thing that’s ever happened to me… Maggie and Laura, I totally know how you feel.
Andrew and Hayley, I hope everything works out for you! *virtual hugs*

Of course I do, what teenager doesn’t?
The feeling of stress and hours of homework a night, the stress of society telling my to do my best, even if my best isn’t good enough. The rush to grow up and get through college and be a doctor, Government worker, or something of the sort.
I mean, Come on! I’M JUST 15!
All I’ve wanted to do was sleep for the past two months… I hate that feeling >_<

Yeah, I’ve felt like this before. But I agree with Dumbledore here. You can’t just be happy all the time. You have to have the pleasure and the pain. To be able to be happy, you have to be able to be sad sometimes, too.
I had a teacher once that was really into Buddhism and how if you weren’t attached to anything and you didn’t care, you couldn’t be hurt. One time, my friend lost her dad, and this teacher told her that she needed to let her dad go and not be attached to him anymore. It was like he was telling her not to love her dad. I wanted to hit him.

My mother-in-law says that too. But what I think she means is to let them go in the sense that if they think you will be unable to go on without them, they might not move on towards whatever is after death.
In a sense, sort of like the ghosts in Harry Potter, only it’s not fear of death that’s keeping them here, but the fear that we might not make it without them.
