“How strange when an illusion dies. It's as though you've lost a child”
— Judy Garland

Simplified Meaning:
When you realize something you believed in deeply is not true, it can be very painful. This experience can feel like losing something very precious, similar to losing a child. Imagine you have always believed in a kind friend, only to find out later they were not trustworthy. The shock and sadness are strong because you lose the happiness and comfort that belief gave you. It's tough because the comfort from that belief is gone, much like mourning a loss. To handle this, it’s important to accept reality and find new things to believe in or trust that can bring you similar joy and peace. This process can help you recover and move forward in life.
