Crying during my grief felt weird. I had suppressed tears for so long, it came out like a torrent. I released 40 years of shame about crying over a period of 2 weeks after my sister died.
It felt like my chest broke open and everything fell out. What a release.

The limited TV series was more accurate to the book, if not as cinematic. It was 'made for TV' after all.

...things that have happened, and that are coming.
While sometimes lonely, I do enjoy my solitude.
I'm going to put all my effort into creating. I no longer desire wealth or status. I will love my daughter with all my heart and give her a life I never had.
I'm looking forward to my future.

...demeaned or belittled me. She would not celebrate my accomplishments and would try to diminish them. She refused to read my book.
I didn't want to be alone so I clung to breadcrumbs of false hope that we could reconcile. I was wrong. She had no intention to.
I've told her to move out.

...refused. She made no effort to reconcile or repair our marriage, while I fell into my pattern of fawning and people-pleasing.
I didn't want to see who she became. She is vain and self-centered. I'm tired of being an accessory to her show. No more. Everything was focused on her.
