Wikipedia defines anomie as "a sociological term meaning 'personal feeling of a lack of social norms; normlessness'." And for me it perfectly characterizes the cognitive dissonance I feel when I look at pictures of our happy, gorgeous little girl.
Sometimes it's like I'm standing naked and screaming in a crowd, which rushes around me without reacting: Katie is gone, yet, incredibly, most things continue as if nothing has changed.
And in case you're wondering, there's definitely an element of rage involved, yet I have nothing to lash out at. So I continue, waiting for something to change...and listening to The Devlins...
