I have no idea if these even...Notes on Carol Frost. I have no idea if these events were true except the suicide and burning of the poems did happen. I am transposing what happened onto 30 years as an RN interviewing patients and clients about losing a child to suicide, a brother, parent or surviving an attempt. People often get stuck in grief. It creates health problems, stress, sleepless nights.Suicide creates a doubt, a missed opprtunity, a what if scenario. Robert Frost lost his first of two sons to childhood illness. Carol was the second son and grew to be and adult. Pictures of Robert Frost in later years appear to me as a beaten down man. His poetry with sad a lonely tones. Scholars portray him as his iconic self. But I believe we all have a dark side and in bringing it out, makes the character of Robert Frost more believable, more 3-D and more endearing. Was his poetry better after Carol's death? I hope you appreciate what I wrote.Mary GerdtTravelogue for the Universehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01127086480471321349noreply@blogger.com
