It's beautiful, peaceful, and heartbreaking at the same time. I lost my daughter 12 years ago and this really resonates with me and will forever. 💔

I still don't know what to say when I hear that someone has lost a child. I'm sorry pretty much says what I'm able to say. I'm sad for your ache and mine, and I'm grateful that this resonated for you. I have always hoped it would for those who need it. Much love to you.

"It's hard to remember, it's me..." Remember, revise who you've become since then, wonder. Wonder. I wonder how I'll carry on if/when one of my adult children passes on before I do. Your words give guidance. Thank you.

Bar Scott's avatar

yes. Revise. I'm a wholly different person, except not really, I guess. I'm just more of who I was all along. I'll have to think about that more and figure out what's true. I've grown up, that's for sure, but whether I'm fully grown-up, not sure that's possible! I'm smiling. Do we ever? Nothing like a big loss or a giant challenge to show us who we are or who we can be. It was really something to be at the center of all that love and support, Ann. That alone changed me in big ways. I felt the power of the best of humanity and I believe in that even when it's hard to.

Dear Bar - tears of recognition came to my eyes when I read the final paragraph. Thank you for sharing and surviving your broken heart. For making something beautiful in spite of it, and for somehow continuing to live a life.
