Oh man, I started typing an answer and got very dark and intimate very quickly; I’ll share the one that is already public: my mom died this year, but even without that one it would have still been a very bad year. 😓
Oh sorry to hear that... Looking forward to 2025 then 🧡🚀
I am so sorry for that 😔
Sorry you’ve had a shit year Pablo, wishing you all the best for ’25. Your mum will be willing it for you too 🫂
I'm sorry mate.
My dad died last year.
I won't pretend to know how it's been for you, because losing someone close is different for everyone.
But perhaps I can relate a bit.
A friend wrote these simple words to me at the time: "So sad for everyone as they come to understand just what has happened."
I think about those words often. They efficiently capture something profound about losing my dad —something I didn’t (couldn't?) comprehend until it happened to me.
Losing a parent can be a seismic event. But one which takes time to fully comprehend.
Be gentle on yourself, it takes time.
Well said. Thank you for sharing this 🫂
Well said, lost my mother 10 years ago (wayyy too young) and I don't know if it will ever sink in.
Years, it can take years. It's horrible, but... If it's any consolation I have probably talked more to my dad since he died than when he was alive. And he has come up with some great answers :) Peace
Sending more prayers to you 💜
Thanks for sharing this with us man. I lost my dad about five years ago. He was a huge part of my life. His passing was and is still one of the most impactful experiences of my life.
You'll likely experience many waves of memories and emotions over the next few years.
Stay present, they are all gifts.
Even the tough ones.
Sorry to hear it man 🫂
I’m sorry for your loss.
Mine died when I was a kid. I never got to know him that much as I would like. I still miss him and in the same time he still around (in the memories of those who knew him well).
We gotta try to keep up on life while we enjoy the moments we still have with our family and friends. 🫂
One of the greatest challenges with mourning is having to understand your own sense of mortality. Your mother's existence, by nature, has her participating for the rest of eternity. There is no turning time back, so once you exist, you exist forever in one form or another.
You too exist for eternity, and there are moments where I find solace that when loved ones are gone in the way we recognize them, we still participate together in the same eternal space and that makes me feel that they are still nearby in spirit.
Whether you're religious or not I tend to thank God for allowing that kind of circumstance to at least be true. Sorry for your loss.
Fuck that’s tough
I’ve got no words
Just sending you my love
So sorry to hear Pablo :( reach out if you need anything. Thinking of you and the family 💜
