The afternoon my mum died, five of us reacted in five completely different ways. Not one of us was doing it wrong; so I wrote about it.

The weird world of #grief and #bereavement

Last year my novel was shortlisted for the #internationalruberybookaward
This is what the judges said about it.

But, also not as bad as it could have been. It made me go from tearing up to crying, but sometimes crying over a character is less painful. Or just, easier in a way. While still being cathartic.
And the story keeps going, so it'll carry me away from the emotional part.

I was starting to get emotional, and I needed to cut it off, so I put my audiobook back on, and the first thing it says to me is, "I miss her. I miss her so goddamn much. Is it worth it? To survive this place with her gone? No. No, I don’t think it is."
Not, as helpful as it could have been.

I love you mom #mom #loss #grief #love

You sleep beneath the stone,
while I wander here alone,
forever calling your name unknown.

“Friends with whom you seriously fall out are death. Sometimes it will be completely your fault that this happens, and the shame and sadness of the parting will stay close for a long time.”

#BookSky #Books #Friendship #Grief #PersonalGrowth

The sun keeps rising, the bills keep getting paid, and the hole in our hearts that was created
1000 days ago is still bottomless.
You made everything look easy and effortless.
You made everything better.
You were our soft place to fall and our biggest cheerleader.
We miss you so much 💔
🐌 ❤️

“What were they like?”
There’s more to someone’s life than how it ended. Their humor, habits, favorite stories—all things someone may still want to talk about.
“If you ever want to tell me about them, I’d like to listen.”
What do you wish people knew about someone you miss?

Daylight savings changes overnight. That means the time I get online to play ffxiv with friends tomorrow changes.
It also means I'm crying now, because I always used to rely on Raq to help with this. I'm terrible at time conversion, I don't know why. But Raq could always tell me.
