*hug* thank you.

So much loss everywhere.
Trying so very hard to ensure that all of the goodness and joy that existed in life is remembered seems so essentially important right now...

Oh sweetheart. Wow. Tears are coming. This is such a powerful, beautiful, touching remembrance.

Having folks near who are strong enough to pull you out of it without themselves imploding is a rare piece of karma; not so many exist like that (and even when they do, it isn't without a steep price tag to all involved; when psychic shapes change in the process of becoming more stable, yes, there can be a lot of fall-out and not everyone is prepared internally/resourced sufficiently to make it through that...we are all less well off until we collectively understand these things and find better ways of addressing them/helping people directly or to help themselves).

It's true, there is a lot of loss, but there are also so many blessings, you being one of them in my book. I think he was lucky to share what time with you there was available between you, too. I am profoundly sorry for your loss--*such* a loss. Thank you for sharing some of your story about him here.

*Hugsyoutight*

It was, as they say, complicated. But there was something in him that was wonderful, and I am glad for the joy we did share.

Thank you. *hug*

Sometimes it all comes back vividly, and time almost doesn't matter...

I am sort of glad it *is* still vivid sometimes though; it would somehow feel like much more of a loss to forget as if he had never existed...
