Never go to bed angry: A cautionary tale
If you’ve ever had an argument with a loved one, you’ve probably heard the advice, “Never go to bed angry.” But what does this really mean, and how important is it to follow?
One woman, Ashley, learned the hard way just how important it is to communicate and resolve conflicts with her loved ones. Ashley’s husband, Mikey, worked long hours, often seven days a week. This left Ashley feeling overwhelmed and resentful. One night, after a particularly long day, Ashley and Mikey had a fight. Ashley was so angry that she made Mikey sleep on the couch.
The next morning, Ashley woke up to find Mikey dead. The autopsy showed that he had died in his sleep, but the exact cause of death is unclear. Ashley believes that Mikey’s back injury, which he had suffered some time ago, may have contributed to his death.
Ashley’s story is a cautionary tale for us all. It’s important to remember that our words and actions have consequences. When we’re angry, it’s easy to say or do things that we regret later. But it’s important to resist the urge to lash out at the people we love.
If you’re feeling angry, take some time to cool down before you say anything. Once you’re calm, talk to your loved one about what’s bothering you. Communicate your feelings in a respectful way, and be willing to listen to their perspective as well.
It’s also important to remember that forgiveness is essential for healthy relationships. If you and your loved one have had a fight, don’t go to bed angry. Talk it out, apologize if necessary, and forgive each other.
Ashley’s story is a reminder that life is precious and unpredictable. We should cherish the time we have with our loved ones and never take them for granted.
