This came at the perfect time, Meg 🤍 I’m so glad you’re back, and I’m deeply sorry for your loss. My soul dog, my little angel, passed away 12 weeks ago, and I still find myself in shock at times. I miss her endlessly and can’t fully grasp that she’s gone forever. I love her so much. Your words feel like a warm hug for my soul and body. You have such a beautiful way with words, and I’m truly grateful I got to read this today. ✨

Dear Meg: I can relate deeply to this passage right here: “I’ve also grieved my dad and the parent I wish he could’ve been.” I went through this very thing when my dad passed away as we too had a complicated relationship. January 22nd marks five years since his passing and I’m still processing things.

May you grieve in the way you need to and find the support you need to process it all when you’re ready. Take care of yourself. ❤️

I'm so moved by your presence in this piece. The warm, gentle, distraught, confused, heartbroken parts of me came to visit my conscious awareness while I read. Thank you for the catalyst of your words, like a warm campfire around which they are still gathered, quietly listening in the misty air.

Wishing you comfort, connection, and whatever you need amongst the contradiction ❤️

Thank you for your words, I’m also going through deep grief. And maybe your dad will “read” your book even now. I feel so strongly they are with us in a different way. Sending love ❤️
