I just found out that A.G.'s close relative is dead. I am standing on grandma's yard and it is dark. A.G. is now present and she looks beyond devastated. She tells me that someone has died, her brother. It takes me a moment to realize whom she is talking about and she has to explain it to me. For some reason I do not recognize his name and even when she tells me the name it doesn't sound familiar. Tears are streaming down her face and she has no idea of what to do with herself. Appearantly she is not aware that another close familymember is also dead. We hug each other and I can literally feel the agony she is going through - it is all so very sad. How can I possibly make it still sadder by telling her?
Eventually she hears what has happened. Everything is so dark. Why do I have to know all this and be the one to tell her? It is winter and dark. Can't we be somewhere else?
