I am absofuckinglutely sorry for your grief and sadness, Taylor. Truly.

I wish I didn't understand grief - but goddamn, I do. It's like we're best fucking enemies in a hate-hate relationship. Anyway, power through, find support through others. I know a few others who have had similar experiences. Keep being a badass and shine a light for others ... and when it feels like the dark is close - GO LOOKING FOR THE LIGHT - YOU'LL FIND IT. I PROMISE.

Wishing you a whole fucking lot of healing love and peace and better days ahead. ๐ŸŒž๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿค

Youโ€™re very welcome ... and it was very good โ€ฆ hard to read, in some sense. Thankfully ... I donโ€™t relate to THAT sense of grief โ€ฆ But I related to way too much grief โ€ฆ. Iโ€™ve written about a lot of forms of it the past few months โ€ฆ especially very recently. Iโ€™ll write about more in November.

Just hang in there and donโ€™t let the darkness consume you. Please. We like having you around here. ๐Ÿ˜

I love you. And I agree, the quiet private space of a car is such an easy cocoon to let yourself feel the feelz.

The more you feel. The more you love.

Your love is so deep.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Your grief and pain must be too much to even bear. And yet, here you are sharing your pain and sadness, a true survivor. You are so brave and she must be so proud of you. Your poem is beautiful, honest and heartbreaking. She is your Light, take comfort, she will always show you the way. โœจ

I lost my Dad recently, I loved him dearly, and I have been so lost in my "chaos" of grief, regrets and helplessness. I long to hear from him, every day I look for a sign, I can so relate to the feeling of wanting just one more chance to say goodbye. ๐Ÿ™

Sending you hugs โค

Well, it is not exactly a happy fucking poem is it!! But I hear you and my heart goes out to you. A title could be "my weeping heart."

Thank you for sharing. I think it is good for you to share and not bottle up the emotions. A piece of her will live within your heart forever but above all, she will want you to have a life full of joy and happiness. She will want you to have a beautiful life. She will not want you to be sad forever. Remember the happy memories.

I def thought I responded to this Colin, my bad!!! Oh I used to be an expert bottler. I try so hard not to do that anymore as it's SO unhealthy. I am working on remembering the happy memories only :)

A touching and really well written poem Taylor. Your ability to face such pain publicly and openly really shows your strength and resilience. Thanks for sharing. I think 'Raw' seems a good title as that's the feeling the poem gives- very Raw and honest emotional pain. Have a great day.

Thank you Taylor. I wondered about the title..One More Goodbye. Thank you again for your heart to share what matters.

Thank you so much! I really like that title! Thank you!

"I won't open that can until I can." That line really moved me, Taylor.

Perhaps Until I Can as a title. I can relate to the only way of surviving is by sharing our child's light. It keeps them close to us.

Keep expressingโค๏ธ

I usually donโ€™t send out random messages, but she has a VOICE and I felt compelled to really share that for you

The car really just brings out the heavy emotions huh ๐Ÿ˜… seems to be where I let myself โ€œcrackโ€ - Iโ€™m a psychic medium, your daughter is your guardian angel, she came down to teach you a different form of love and then loss. From your LOVELY post I read about your experience with her, I felt like your internal struggle with being a mother - was something to be evolved. And youโ€™re going to be such a wonderful Mom because of this experience. Sheโ€™s always with you and you definitely know that. ๐Ÿฉต๐Ÿชฝ

Oh your comments mean the world to me. I've had someone else share something similar with me. I have started to actually hear her more clearly now and it's so beautiful! Thank you so so so much.

P.s. my car is 100% my safe space ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
