7. I understand completely, crimycarny.

The sadness and the self-recriminations and the paralyzing inability to accomplish the most simple of tasks and the knowledge that tomorrow is only going to bring more of the same and having to go out in the world and see people enjoying themselves and the fucking emptiness that can’t be filled by anything.

My loss is not as fresh as yours but I have not forgotten any of it. You did not fail your son but I have no way to prove that to you. He was clearly a kind and caring person who got overwhelmed by the senseless brutality of the world and had he managed to get through one more day he might have found a spark of hope.

I only have words and thoughts and a sympathetic ear to offer you, but please know that such a loss is survivable and there is beauty and kindness still left in the world. I would take your burden from you if I could. Please give your dogs a hug from me.
