I think there are many of us who are trying to find a way through grief, loss, love and the accompanying feelings. Even if you don’t feel you have the right words yet - these words are enough to make us (me included) less alone in that particular journey.

Thank you for sharing with us. There are no right words for moments like this, I see you. I lost my dad almost 17 years ago (that cannot be right) and it still hurts.

Suicide brings a special kind of grief, I think. I have personally found it hard to let go of.

Sending love to you all ✨

Hi Zoe! For sure. It brings more layers to already complex terrain. I’m finding hard to let go too. Putting it to bed and then deciding in a moment the whole bed needs flipped upside down. 😅 Much love. 💖

We’re almost three years in from losing Lisa that way and I still occasionally feel this way ❤️ it’s hard, there’s a lot to work through, for sure

I keep saying to people there’s a part of me constantly trying to ‘make sense of the senseless’. By definition that’s obviously impossible. Regardless, the ego-mind complex’s job is to file things away in order for us to feel safe and so we go on looking for a final hook to hang it all on. Mediation is a space where I can move through the clouds but the clouds themselves will just have to be. ☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️🛫☁️ x

One of the hardest part is seeing the world go on, as if they don't realise a bright star has just left this earth.

Remembering your best friend and the impact he had on those around him. 💐

Indeed Mika, it puts us out of step with the rest of the world which can be quite isolating and frightening really. Thank you. 💐

Thanks Carina! You're very welcome here! Beautiful to be reminded not to rush - I love the 'Nature does not rush yet achieves everything' saying. <3

I’m sorry to hear of this, David. Thank you for the update but take all the time you need to grieve. That being said, if writing here helps with that process then I support it.
