hi alice! i've been following for a while (from ur writing) and i've been seeing your posts about your mom and i just wanna give u a massive hug. i know words on the internet isn't much but i hope somehow, knowing someone is (spiritually) holding your hand through your grief can ease your heart even a tiny bit. i'd lost my aunt and my little cousin i'm very close to last year, and ik it's never really the same, how we carry the losses and the love that lies in its wake, but i guess i want to somehow say there's someone who understands, right now, at this moment, even from far away. maybe i'm being selfish and just want confirmation someone also understands me right now, haha! i didn't really think about what to say til i got here. anyways, sorry if this is so random. but i hope your days are kind to you. sending you all my love!
this is really lovely anon thank you <3 one thing i’m learning is that seeing other people talk about grief is immensely comforting, and that’s been kind of a surprising…not upside lol that sounds bad but you know. there’s good things in everything, even the really bad stuff. so if talking about it is helpful to other people, i’m glad. grief is untranslatable but if you know it, you understand other people who grieve. that’s what i think anyway
