Grief is a very weird thing... you feel guilty for moving on without the person

And no matter how much or how far you think you've moved on, it just comes back like a slap in the face... it never really fades away.

You are very brave for this and it resonates with me ❤️

Sending love and hugs my friend ❤️🫂

Hello Moyo💕🌹 you're doing really well , I know you have much more love to express to him , but this thought, this lingering in your soul, is his own way of telling you he loves you too . And it hurts badly when you have so much love to give but the grantee is not present but just know he is reciprocating the love you have for him too. My heart is with you dear friend🥹💗

I always feel I am not entitled to comment on grief because I have never experienced it myself…

I have read so much about grief and I learnt one thing.

Grief is like glitter. Even after you clean yourself and your environment, you still see reminders of it… little particles that make you remember.

I mean this, the sun will shine again. Take as much time as you want to grow and learn.

The Lord is with you and your family. May your brother’s gentle soul rest in peace. ❤️

There would be hard days but there also would be good days Moyo. Untill one looses someone then one understands that words don't comfort enough. Just be around people you love, it's more consoling. Writing this peice is a great start.

Moyo my love ❤️,

This really touched me. I lost someone very close to me just last week, and reading this felt like you were putting my feelings into words. Everything still feels unreal, and I’m still trying to process it. Even though it's 2026,i keep looking bk to the day we buried her day and day (especially with the way we moved on). Losing her so recently is heavy, and sometimes there aren’t even words for it. Whatever I’m feeling whether shock, sadness, numbness — it all makes sense. Thank you for sharing this so honestly, it made me feel a little less alone.

Sending you all my love and warm hugs 🤗
