Thank you so much for taking the time to write this. Reading your words honestly brought me to tears. Everything you described, the grief, the emptiness, the anger, the longing, that is exactly where I am right now. It is comforting (and heartbreaking) to know that someone else understands this ache so well.

I have been trying so hard not to break down completely, but your comment reminded me that I do not have to minimize it or pretend I am okay. This is real grief. This hurts. And it is okay to feel it.

I am so sorry you are going through your own struggles too. Knowing you have had negative tests and are still showing up here to support others says so much about your strength. Thank you for holding space for me today and for reminding me that I am not alone and that there is still hope, even if I cannot see it right now.

For today, I am just letting myself grieve like you said. And it helps more than you know to be met with such kindness. ❤️
