My previous post here the pictures weren't showing up so I'm using tiny pic this time.

Grieving is horrible. I don't care for it. I'm kind of annoyed that I'm still grieving over a person I didn't know but that doesn't make me any less bummed. This piece of writing brings me comfort.

Those are beautiful - thank you so much, it warms my heart to look at that face. <3

Please don't beat yourself up for grieving over someone you didn't know. I was feeling a bit insane about my own reaction, but I've read some articles recently that explain that the way the human mind works, it forms the same kind of connections whether we love someone we know and are close to or whether we love someone because of their art. All artists put the very best of themselves into their art, and we respond with the very best parts of ourselves. Of course you will grieve. It is normal and natural and good to do so.

Your kind words are appreciated! Thank you. I struggle between being a logical person and an empathetic, sensitive person who loves really deeply. So I sort of feel like I have no business being devastated, while remaining devastated, because I can't control what I feel.

Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone. I'm probably going to be posting lots of pictures because I still can't bring myself to listen to or watch anything yet. It makes me too sad.

Oh good, I would love to see more of your favorite pictures. The ones you chose earlier were sublime.

I've found some comfort in imagining that since AR is no longer bound by the physicality of being here on earth, he does know us and he knows we love him and he is glad of it. Our love matters. Love always matters.

You're lovely. Thank you.

Aaaaaand now I'm crying again. But in a good way. That's lovely.

So, so lovely. And gorgeous pictures. My heart is still so sad. I also feel a bit silly mourning someone I never even met, but mywitch couldn't have said it better! He gave us an amazing piece of him, he'll be forever missed.

[everstuff]

Very true. I will miss him forever.

We'll get through this. Thanks for being here, everyone. xo
