Hello, it's this post anon: https://retrospring.net/@arii/a/113283506325326646
Thank you very much for your kind words.
Life is pretty funny. Everyone gets to the same end at some point, but it's a whole different experience when you're the one being left behind to say goodbye to a loved one. Grief is a pretty distinct type of pain. But, as someone told me, it only hurts to lose someone because you've loved them. I guess we are pretty brave people to embrace that hurt, to work through it and treasures the memories made. And you're right, we must move on with time.
I'm glad you get to meet your mum again in your dream, how ever brief it was. Maybe mine will too down the line, who knows :D
I hope you had a wonderful day. Thank you for taking the time to read this ask 💕💕
You're welcome, love. I'm glad they seemed to help, if only a little.
I never want to be left behind. It always seemed lonelier to me. I always tell my friends that I have to go first. I would be too devastated when mourning for them, so I have to go. Of course, they argue me down saying I need to live longer than them lol and the cycle repeats. Grief is distinct. There's nothing quite like it. It's such a huge, all-encompassing feeling that affects you mentally and physically. It's so tough to learn to live with it. I don't think it ever truly goes away, not really, but it lessens with time. And you're right; we experience hurt because we had the courage to love them. We're all pretty brave by taking that risk to experience pain, to embrace the hurt/grief. It really takes a lot of courage, and those who are willing to do so have many great experiences because of it.

Thank you, bby 🤍 I'm glad I got to meet her too! Though brief, I think it was needed at the time and it helped me in many ways. I'ms sure your mom will come to visit you as well, mothers can't seem to stay away from their babies for too long. But I don't want you to think about this right now. Stay in the present with her, okay? Allow the future to wither away and be present. There's time to think of this later when the time comes.
I hope you have a lovely night/day as well hun. And that life, though funny with its humor, treats you well; that life surrounds you in an abundance of love from family and friends; that life is kinder even when it can seem so cruel. Keep going babe. You're stronger than you think. Thank you for sharing this with me. Stay precious ִֶָ☾. ·
