Saving Grace
“She remembers telling Lydia, on one of her trips home, how hilarious she found them. Patrick had just returned from a trip to Los Angeles, and he immediately adopted the voiceover, warning them all of certain death should they take that aspirin. Patrick and Grace had laughed more than the others, but as hilarious as she found them then, she now finds them frightening.
She has never been on anything for any period of time, and has never, ever countenanced seeing a therapist. Therapists seem so .... . . American. What good could it possibly do to sit in someone’s office week after week and pour out your woes? How self-indulgent! What an unwanted luxury! And if you didn’t have woes, what then? Who wants to sit in a therapist’s office and talk about the good stuff? If you didn’t have woes, you would surely have to create them.
Grace’s life has always been pretty good, thank you very much. She will admit there have certainly been times when she has been depressed – Clemmie leaving home was one of her lowest moments – but her remedy has always worked: stay home for a while, sleep a bit more, drink more cups of tea and wait for it to pass.MoreLess
