The Grate Wait

It grates on families. Grates on the skin of your soul. The second guessing. The waiting until the “right” time to act with new direction and focus.

And so this Grate Wait is the painful in-between. The in-between the pause that concern causes, and the action that the dying requires.

Just do it. Try something new today. Ask him or her, if they wanna talk treatment? If they want to talk help. And so this always grating wait, ends when you start with the new, the helpful, the right.

It’s like this - we throw the life preserver to the one drowning. Knowing that there are motivators to grabbing on, other than the fact that their legs are tired. To name a few:
1) it sucks to be tired and wet
2) there are sharks in these waters
3) birthday cake is too good to check out now!

The Grating Wait ends when you say it does.
