That young grief, that perceived infinity 💔 know that you are not alone

This is probably one of the best things I’ve read on here. I am in awe of how you managed to create something so great while going through something so hard.

gah i'm terrified if losing my parents. it's a reality i'm slowly becoming aware of as i get older. you write so beautifully, i hope this gets easier, but grief is still unfamiliar to me, and i can't give good advice. it's scary in itself, now there are so many that i know will be lost to time.

ps: for years i have often come back to your song 'mama' after silly fights and arguments that ended in tears.. pls continue to tell the stories that don't get told and forever love to your mother 💘

you are a masterful, visceral writer. thank you for again sharing your (he)art. maybe grief is a portal, and not just for those who pass to another dimension but for those that remain earthside… there’s no way you’re not completely transformed on the other side of it. keep being true to where you are in your process, we will always support you. love you Raveena and love to your mama and grandmama <3

grief. the most isolating experience which undoubtedly still links us all. to mourn them. to mourn who we were with them. the people we will never be again together. i think of you still, all the time when i stumble on something you’ve shared. love to you friend ❤️‍🩹

'What does it mean to become a shadow of yourself? To be so ripped by loss that your voice changes shape and tone?'

Beautiful writing.

the little girl in me sees the little girl in you and my last post was about the dissociation and grief of it all <3 I really resonated with this, you have such a way with words, it was hauntingly beautiful
