Do you ever sit down and try to make sense of things that are senseless? I have a friend Michele and we have a very similar and unfortunate similarity that we both lost our families in a crazy twist of reality. To someone outside of the situation it seems almost impossible. To those directly effected by this turn of events, it truly is several kinds of crazy. She and I have accepted the cards that we've been dealt. And we live by the motto, 'that which does not kill you, makes you stronger'.
This has been a hurdle of sorts that my husband cannot seem to embrace. It's been difficult for me as I cannot get him to understand crazy. How can you explain what truly is insane?
Today, the conversation between us found it's way to that dreadful topic yet again, and I finally came to the explanation that I felt comfortable with and I am hopeful that he will finally let it "be". You can't explain crazy.
Once I got past being frustrated at having had to have the same conversation that we've had at least a hundred times in the past 18 months, I felt a strange sense of peace. Because I finally figured out how to explain that which is unexplainable. You can't explain crazy.
It doesn't have to make sense, it just is.
Because, really, you can't explain crazy. Can you?

Sure can't ... when you live it, you live it ... others just don't get it unless they walked in your shoes.

Just like there ain't no cure for stupid, one of my favorite sayings, especially when dealing with my one PIA branch of the family or impossible patients/family members/etc. at the hospital. I know what you mean...when you explain it this way, it takes the responsibility of trying to change it off of your shoulders.
Sorry you have crazy in the family; glad that you have decided to accept it and move on. It's so nice to stop beating your head against the proverbial wall, isn't it?
