"When you lose something you need to grieve."
I've been dealing with this a lot lately. Mostly loss of mobility, as I finally accept the inevitable, that I need to use my cane to get around, because the damage in my knee isn't getting better. It's been hard to accept.
I think it is important to grieve. When something changes, it hurts. The more it matters, the more painful it is. Facing that pain and accepting that, yes, this is happening, and yes, it's hurting, helps you begin to process. It doesn't make it any easier, but it does leave a clean wound, instead of something that festers. I'm so sorry about your mobility. I hope you're able to adjust your life to accommodate it, or at least buy yourself a really badass cane and some sweet swimming gear.
Did anyone else catch those slight tremors in the last panel? Trembling Beast...good heavens, Beauty. No use having him shake all to pieces in your lap!
Oh gods, the poor Beast. Beauty's right in that he needs to let himself grieve so he can start to heal, but goodness, it's hard to see him in pain. His trembling and the way his voice gets small as he confesses he doesn't want her to think of him as an animal - ouch.
