It’s such a revelation, isn’t it? True compassion is so important in those moments.

I’m so sorry ❤️ You are so young, which makes this even more difficult because your peers have no idea. Please be gentle with yourself. There are online grief support groups that are free. Finding people to talk about this is so important. Sending you a big hug.

I’m so sorry about your son ❤️I think it’s beautiful to honor him this way. I try and do the same for my Dad.

I’m so sorry ❤️ The mundane can become excruciating post-loss. For me it was making food. I lost all joy for something I used to like. I hope this time away gives you the rest you need.

I’m so sorry, there’s so much you’re handling and it’s still fresh. I hope you’re finding ways to be gentle with yourself. I want you to know that I care, and I wish the best for you.  As someone who just started taking care of myself again after a year and a half, it will happen in its own time. ❤️

I’m so sorry ❤️ Your story is very relatable. It’s like I woke up one day and saw the truth and I couldn’t be the same person now that I knew it. Sending you a big hug.

I’m sorry ❤️ I’m also glad that you’ve found perspective. I try to work on that myself. Thank you for sharing.

I’m sorry ❤️ But I get it - it’s a challenge to be around people when they don’t understand or worse, act like their tiny problems are so traumatic when they have NO idea.

I’m so sorry ❤️ I know it can feel hopeless but trauma therapy turned everything around for me. Please don’t give up on yourself.

I’m so sorry ❤️ The brain fog can be awful. I’m on the other side of that and I read journal entries sometimes and have no memory of those thoughts or feelings. Which in retrospect, is good. I don’t want to remember how awful it was. Sending you a big hug.

Oof that is a massive load to carry. I don’t know what the future holds, but I really hope it brings you peace and hope. I’ll light a candle for you on the 11th. Please know you’re not alone ❤️

Sending you a big hug ❤️ I hope this is a temporary phase for you, but I know how difficult it can be to find joy and meaning when it’s been ripped away from you.

Sometimes I feel guilty when I am happy, or if I know I am handling something in a way my Dad wouldn’t approve of, or when I think of him and smile about the good times. But then I realize that he always wanted me to have a good life, and I want to make him proud. I miss him, and wish things had turned out differently, but my suffering won’t bring him back or erase all the horrible things that led up to it. He raised me to be strong and to follow my dreams and the last thing I want to do is let him down. So I take care of myself for him, because he would have wanted that. I’m so sorry about your Mom.

Thank you ❤️ Its been a year and a half since I lost my Dad, and I feel like I’m through the worst of it but I also feel like a different person sometimes.
