@avant-garde the phrase that has popped into my head is that, 'the world has been robbed of joy'. But then I thought.... well not just the world... but you. You were robbed of joy. And that sits heavy in my heart.
"Grief is love with no place to go."

For all the ones I've lost before
For all the tears I've cried
For all the pain that's in my heart
To be thankful I'm alive...
I was robbed of a lot of things, not just them, a childhood, parents, life...

Beautiful words @avant-garde - I adore poetry. Even started up a poetry thread (which I have apparently neglected a bit ahaha). But feel free to share there if you like.
You really were darlin. Robbed and then told to be grateful for the trauma left in love's absence. Well... there's love a-plenty for you here. Boundless, open, freely given 😊

@avant-garde *squeeze you and softly strokes hair*
I wish I could send audio... I'd sing you a lullaby.

It's hard that people's judgement and denial prevent me from sharing my grief in person... they are just so dismissive and judgemental that I find it too hard to even try anymore
