The phone call that comes in the middle of the night…
The letter that arrives by special courier…
The e-mail marked “urgent!”…
Yes, there are all sorts of ways bad news can be delivered.
Bad news travels quickly, and when it arrives,we have to find a way to deal with it.
If our husbands tell us they’ve moved on…
We look for projects to distract us.
If the bills start to stack up…
We find ways to earn extra cash.
If we’re told a secret too terrible to share…
We learn to keep it to ourselves.
