Recycling Pain

On Friday, the world tilted in a way that rearranged our family equilibrium: forever. At fifty three years of age, Harry Strout died of a massive heart attack, leaving behind three devastated daughters.

As they navigate their way through funeral arrangements, their grief is raw, and there is nothing we can do or say to lessen their pain.  As extended family, we tackle our to-do lists with gusto; anything to appear helpful, while feeling nothing but impotence. In other group projects, each completed task is met with checked accomplishment: in this case, the finished to-dos take us closer to the services and the fear that once all is done, the cauterizing, that never was,  is out of our hands.

Harry Strout did a number of things well, but his greatest, crowning accomplishment was the way he loved his daughters. He loved them completely and truly, and that will be his everlasting legacy.

Service – Coonamessett Inn, Jones Road, Falmouth. Saturday, May21, 2010, 2:00 – 4:00. Reception to follow.
