“Sempre que alguém me faz essa pergunta, Sharon, eu digo "Estou bem, obrigada", mas, para ser sincera, não estou. Será que essas pessoas realmente querem saber como alguém se sente quando fazem essa pergunta? Ou simplesmente estão tentando ser educadas? - Holly sorriu - Da próxima vez que a minha vizinha me perguntar: "Como você está?", vou dizer "Olha, não estou muito bem, obrigada. Ando me sentindo deprimida e sozinha. Irritada com o mundo. Sentindo inveja de você e sua família perfeita, mas não sinto inveja de seu marido, que tem que viver com você". E então contarei que comecei em um novo emprego e conheci um monte de gente, e que estou me esforçando muito para me reerguer, mas que agora estou perdida, sem saber o que fazer. Depois, direi que fico fula da vida sempre que me dizem que o tempo cura quando, ao mesmo tempo, também dizem que a ausência aumenta a saudade, o que me deixa muito confusa, porque quer dizer que quanto mais tempo se passa, mais eu sinto falta dele. Direi que nada está sendo curado e que todas as manhãs, quando acordo e vejo a cama vazia, parece que estão esfregando sal em minhas feridas abertas. - Holly suspirou fundo - Depois, vou dizer a ela que sinto saudade de meu marido é que minha vida parece sem sentido sem ele. E que estou me desinteressando em continuar a fazer as coisas sem ele, e explicarei que parece que estou esperando o mundo acabar para reencontrá-lo. Ela provavelmente dura apenas "Ah, que bom", como sempre faz, vai beijar o marido e pronto, enquanto eu ainda estarei tentando decidir que cor de camisa vestir para trabalhar.”
