Grief can find you in any place, at any moment, in any kind of weather. Well for me It was a scorching hot day, the kind that makes you feel like you're melting. But amidst the sweltering heat, something unexpected happened. You see, I had spent the previous night shedding tears, feeling the weight of sorrow deep within my soul. It was one of those nights when the darkness seemed never-ending, and I found myself whispering a prayer filled with sadness. But when the morning sunlight pierced through my window, something shifted within me. I woke up with a heaviness in my heart, yet an unexplainable urge to dance. So, there I was, in the midst of my own grief, moving my body to the rhythm of the music. It was as if the act of dancing allowed me to momentarily escape the pain, to find a flicker of joy in the midst of despair.
It felt like I was caught in a whirlwind of emotions, unsure of why I was feeling sad and seeking solace in dancing. My heart was racing, and I questioned if hunger was the cause🥹 But even when I tried to eat, the emptiness persisted. It was as if something was amiss, and my heart felt heavy with unease…💔
As I entered the audio studio for my practical class, my mind was clouded, and I couldn't shake off the discomfort. I attempted to put on a brave face, forcing laughter and smiles, but deep down, the pain lingered. And then, out of the blue, I received a text, revealing the news of someone's passing. The person was unfamiliar to me or I was just in disbelief yet everyone around me was sharing their condolences.
With each post and message, the reality sank in. The person had tragically passed away, and the weight of their absence hit me like a ton of bricks. My heart shattered into countless pieces, and the tears seemed impossible to shed … overcome by a profound sense of grief.
Your departure left an ache in my heart even before I knew you had departed. Though we hadn't been in touch for weeks, our spirits shared a connection that transcends words. It's a beautiful thing, isn't it?😔🩷
But then …It hit me like a storm cloud…a heavy rain of realization pouring over my heart… memories of our early friendship flood my mind. From those spontaneous video calls to noticing even the smallest changes in ourselves, we've shared so much. Remember how we both ditched android around the same time and debated who made the best pancakes? Our conversations have had their ups and downs, but we always found a way back to each other. Even when we didn't talk for weeks, we knew we were fine. It's bittersweet to see how you've grown from that little boy arguing about pancakes to becoming an engineer. I miss you deeply, and my heart aches💔
It's been four months since you passed away, and not a day goes by without me thinking of you . Losing you brought endless nights of restlessness, leaving me in a state of numbness that lasted for weeks. If I managed to feel anything, it was an overwhelming sadness that consumed me. I still feel a mix of emotions . I have moments of sadness. I hope that you have found peace in the afterlife and I’m grateful you got to experience true love during your time here with us . Even though you are no longer physically with us, your presence will forever be etched in our hearts. The memories we shared, the laughter, the tears, they all hold a special place within me . I have countless stories and rants you to share, from the ups and downs of boy drama to the unexpected fight at school. I know I promised to be a good girl in school but I had to show her who the boss is😂 My heart is overflowing with love for you and that love will continue to grow with each passing day.
