I was hesitant to test this post, since the title alone was enough to tell me it was a potential trigger, but the sense of validation of hearing a story almost exactly as my own has been this past year was worth the tears it drew. With a few key differences I could have written this and I'm sorry you have experienced it too, but so relieved to know I am not alone. I haven't begun to write my story in a format to share yet, because it is all still very raw, but I have been processing it as I went along and I hope that one I'm out of the intensity of the grief, I can look back with as much pragmatism as you have here. Xx
Thank you for your beautiful tender words Emma! Thank you for sharing this space with me. I'm so glad you braved it and read the piece and even more glad that it helped you in a small way. This isn't easy and I just hope you give yourself so much compassion and stick to the good people who want to love you. Sending you a hug ❤️
Absolutely adored reading this, Nadia. I've been reflecting on some of my own pivotal endings this past week and this felt like drawing another vial of medicine; altogether a balm after the initial sting. Always grateful for your words.
