i just wanted to say thank you for giving people like me a space to share this stuff. honestly i havent been able to talk about my grief with anyone really. ppl say “you’ll get thru it” or “they’re in a better place” but like... that doesn’t help. i still wake up every morning and expect them to be here. i still reach for the phone. the silence after they died is just unreal, like everything stopped.

some days im numb and other days it hits me like a truck outta nowhere. i don’t even feel like myself anymore. i smile in public but inside its like im stuck in this fog.

i never got to say goodbye properly. that eats at me. but writing this weirdly helped. just knowing someone might read this without judging me means a lot.

thank you for making this space. i really needed it.
