I cried reading your beautiful words. I am so sorry for your loss. I don't want to leave platitudes or words that harm when they touch your grief. Just to say, I have experienced my own losses and deep griefs through the deaths of very much-loved people who were the bedrock of my life, and I know how much I struggled to rebuild my life around that grief.
Thank you for leaving such kind words on my post. I'm very gad to have found you and your writing.
Aww, thanks for reading! Your words are perfect. And I am sorry for your loss as well. You also understand both the fragility and the beauty of life. Before Finn died I sometimes didn’t know what to say to someone who had experienced loss, as I never wanted to create more pain. But now I know people can say whatever, as it almost always comes from compassion. You’ve also probably felt how as a society we’re not really taught how to speak to each other about grief. So it can feel awkward at times for the griever and for the one reaching out. I hope to change this culture. All of us carry hidden grief, and the more we let it out and learn how to share and be carried along, the healthier we will become! ✨
