Cover of 我所受的傷
by 葉揚
Language: Chinese
Release Date: February 28, 2019

曾以暢銷書《親愛的彼得先生》一書,以幽默筆觸描繪一家點點滴滴人氣作家葉揚,初次寫出自己內心的創傷,將去年失去孩子的心情撰寫下來,以真誠的筆觸,紀錄了一年的心情,還有對年少時光的反思,讓閱讀者同感身受,感動不已。 如果妳坐下來,跟那個曾經受過傷的自己,一起坐在沙灘上,妳會跟她說什麼? 我想我會跟她說,謝謝妳,沒有那麼拚命的妳,我就到不了這裡。 雖然帶著一點荒蕪,人生還是可以走下去。 因為人生注定是要超過那片荒蕪的。 ☆ 二○一八年一月,她發現自己懷孕了。 工作正步上軌道,而她的先生也是初戀男友,那位喜歡穿著花花襯衫的彼得,正在一間咖啡廳等他下班,她在上甜點時把驗孕棒拿出來,兩人都很開心地,迎來這一刻。 時間不能再更完美了,第二胎寶寶將在大兒子羅比上幼兒園後的兩個月到來,她覺得自己的人生簡直是教科書題材,她想,「倒楣的女人都會恨我的。」 可那不過,是個錯覺。 故事在幾個月後轉到了另一面。 才剛在網路上公布喜訊的她,從醫生的口中知道,她的寶寶,也許不該誕生在這世界上,寶寶因為天生染色體有問題,有「愛德華氏症」必須引產。 當必須揮手跟寶寶道別的那天,在面對寶寶必須離開的過程裡,她對生命,有了另一個新的選擇、新的體認。 生命有些相遇,說了再見之後,可以再重逢嗎? 那些無以名狀的悲傷,是怎麼慢慢地,慢慢地回到該走的軌道上。 這本書,獻給每一個,在生活中受過傷,卻還是試著往前的女子。 獻給每一個,即便心裡破了洞,還是懂得欣賞人生的美好片段;在每次噙著淚水時,卻仍舊望著滿天星空,期盼找到出口的妳。 本書節錄金句: 關於受傷—— 「我不應該受傷。我不應該受苦。」 這個思考是對現實的扭曲,只會讓受傷更加痛苦,而只要抗拒受苦,悲傷的過程就會更加漫長。 所謂幸福與成就—— 原來所謂成就,所謂幸福,不是龐然大物,不是煙火表演,也不是兩千公斤的恐龍。成就用一眼看不清楚,幸福的感覺也沒有什麼過癮,更像一瓶白開水,插了一支吸管,一次一小口,味道很淡,可以分很多次喝。 ■媽媽是什麼—— 所謂的媽媽是什麼呢? 不過就是,不愛沒事,一旦愛下去,就會愛得俗氣而且全面的女人。 ■關於婚姻—— 所有的婚姻都有這麼一個時刻——妳的另一半給出無語問蒼天的建議,他覺得自己很有道理,妳只能咻咻咻地對天空揮拳。 用力多揮幾拳,就不會那麼生氣了。 ■結婚後的愛情—— 親情是老後的愛情。 它有一種本領,心胸寬大,不看外貌就能維持下去。 ■關於夢想—— 如果說,夢想終歸是個詐騙案,就讓我在那個騙局裡傻笑,覺得很榮幸,也不是太壞的事情,經過的時候請放輕腳步,千萬不要,千萬不要把我吵醒了。 ■大人的世界—— 大人就是這樣吧,你很害怕,你很無助,可是你長大了不能隨便把心裡的話跟別人說,只好都跟搜尋引擎傾訴。 ■孩子教我的事—— 過去那年,我親眼見著自己的孩子,一點機會都沒有,連活一秒都沒有辦法,便匆匆死了,我便想到,這一生,我是因為受到多少的厚愛,才能活下來的。 ■我常常忍不住看著葉揚,她太漂亮又太愛傻笑了。 然後我會覺得,壞事發生在好人身上,其實是一件大事。 因為她會讓傷痛長出安慰。 ——大A...
