Everyone who loses someone should read this to know what grief is. I’m sorry for your loss.

I’m so sorry for your loss, Ellie. This one pulls at the heartstrings my friend. Thank you for sharing such a personal write with us, this one illustrates how grief truly works. A very powerful write. Appreciate you.

Thank you. It’s all still so raw. L died in tragic circumstances in February. She was only 17. I miss her so much, but have just started to write again to help me process things.

Chère E.,
I hope that others, more fluent in your language, have the right words at their disposal to give you the support you need.
I read your writes in the DUP and will continue doing so here.
No one deserves this kind of loss.
And what a lovely photo you posted.
Please stay strong.
Warm regards, Gus

Each step of this transient thing we call life has its own taste of pain. I send you love, which is all I have to give.

There’s a moment in grief where realization hits like a brick…it’s always going to be different now. You captured that so perfectly. It’s more than a vacancy, it’s a new reality unexpected and unwanted. My heart is with you in your loss. 💔

Hi Elle.
I just read this. Im so so sorry. There are no words that help process loss.
All I can say is your life was blessed in having the time you did I have.
My aunt lost her two son and her husband within two years time.
She is now getting to the point where she thinks about them without crying all the time.
When she prays she occasionally will light them a candle.
She doesn’t talk about it but I think it gives her a sense of peace.
That’s what I’m wishing for you in time. A sense of peace when it feels unbearable.
Until then god bless.

I like this and I wholehearted agree that one must face their Karma. No running from it.

this is another great Richard..

Powerfully penned, Richard. Excellent write my friend. Accountability catches up to everyone at some point. Nicely done. Appreciate you.

I said it before this is a beautiful conversation between the both of you

I saw there were a bunch of comments on his post, so I sauntered over to post mine on your post instead. Gotta spread the love evenly, ya know. This is a beautiful collaboration and I fully relate to the desert/oasis vibe. I once wrote a piece titled Shifting Sands for my sweetie. Maybe I’ll drop it here at some point too. It’s funny how a word or a phrase acts as a springboard and we’re off!

Thank you Crimsin:)
Mark and i have done a few collaborations but this one is extra special!
Have a wonderful Saturday!

Awwww. What an awesome comment.
Thank you for teaching me a new word!
That is exactly what Mark is for me!

Love like this doesn’t die—it just gets buried deep, waiting on stubborn hands to dig it back into daylight.
Your desert’s harsh, but the water’s still down there somewhere, whispering both your names.

Beautifully penned, Adel & Mark. What a lovely collaboration, really love the back and forth between you two, as in life and in love, your words also show your undeniable connection. Nicely done. Appreciate you both.

Hi H!
I love this comment. For me it’s important when writing to also acknowledge the inspiration behind it.
Mark inspires me all the time, so do other writers on this site.

I also wanted to find a different metaphor besides the sun chasing the moon.
There are other connections we can draw from to write.

Im so happy you stopped by for a comment:)
You are awesome!

Why thank you:)
When you get that eureka moment you gotta write it down before it vanishes!
I’m so happy you enjoyed our write.

Thanks for commenting!
