Mom:
[on the phone] So you guys dated what, like, a year? So what's, what's the grieving process on that? It's half, right?

Jessica:
It's half.

Mom:
It's about six months...

Jessica:
Right. Except I... I started early.

Mom:
What do you mean you started early?

Jessica:
At about nine months I knew it was over, so... I started grieving... during the relationship.

Mom:
Wait a sec, you started at nine months, so that's four and a half months of grieving, but he's got a whole year, so he's got six months of grieving?

Jessica:
Yeah.

Mom:
See, I didn't know you could do that. I didn't that know you could start *secretly* grieving while still in the comfort of the relationship.

Jessica:
Yeah. You can do it.
