I am deeply saddened by the sudden passing of my friend. Her death has left me grappling with the grief, questioning why her and why now. As I navigate through the hole her passing has left, I am confronted with the loneliness that we all may experience at some point in our lives. The truth that there is no certainty about what’s next resonates with me, urging me to make the most of the present. Although I feel a certain glimpse of the year ahead, there are no guarantees, and unexpected events can disrupt even the best-laid plans. The passing of my friend has humbled me and shifted my perspective on truth and trust in life. Through this experience, I am reminded of the impermanence of life and the need to accept and embrace who I am. I am determined to carry on and cherish the gift of each day.

That was touching, true and sad. Farewell to your cherished friend on her next journey. 🙏🏼❤️
Oh, Akasha, I am so sorry for your loss and I know and understand your grief. My brother passed away — also suddenly and totally unexpected — in 2021 and I still feel a sharp pain of loss every time I think of him. So I know your grief will last awhile. I know you already know this but … give yourself time. “They” always tell us our grief will pass but I’m not sure I believe that. I think it may shift its position in our lives, but that hole that that person occupied will never be filled in the same way again and that loss will not change. So take time. I am thinking of you my dear friend and wish you peace.
