I am unsure how to follow up my last post with any content other than pure gratitude. Thank you to each of you who has stopped in to say you understand loss or depression. Many of you are choosing to celebrate with me. The happiness this creates in my heart is immeasurable.
Loss is difficult and painful, but there is incredible room for personal growth. I know that because I have lost many someones to death, but I have also lost someone very recently to life. To mental illness. We were very close and though they are still living, they are unwell and because of it, unsafe. I am choosing to celebrate the friendship we had prior to this turn of events. I wish them the best.
I wish all of you locating the celebration in loss the best also. Again, thank you for your good words. It's like a Steemit hug.
