She was grieving, wailing for the loss of dozens of friends she loved. It doesn’t really work to say that those relationships were only imaginary. The emotions were real.
Just because an event is only real to the person suffering psychosis does not make it less devastating.
I know what the lonely grief of the imaginary feels like. The grief is real because the love was real. For my daughter, the belief was magical, the relationship imaginary. But the love was real.
“Love, that thing we have great difficulty even describing, is the only truly real and lasting experience of life,” Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, the 20th century’s great expert in grief, wrote. “It is the only gift in life that is not lost. Ultimately, it is the only thing we can really give.”
No love is ever wasted. Even if the stuffies never were alive. Even if the stillborn baby never existed. Even if the love is unrequited. Even if the love leads to heartbreak. Even if the relationship doesn’t last. Even if it ends in pain, betrayal or death. Even if the objects of love were imaginary.
The experience of love has changed you, created you.
Grief means you remember. Maybe in this way, grief gives us courage to continue living after loss, to move into the next part of life, to create something new.
Love and loss create us, and grief allows us to embrace that new creation. If no love is ever wasted, then no grief is either.
The love that she, or anyone, pours into the world will always exist.
