I haven't posted on here in a long time. But I received some devastating news today and felt it was time.
Su***de is such a loss.
It is a loss of those who leave us. A loss of their future. A loss of becoming all the amazing things they were meant to be. A loss of friendships, memories, photos.
It is a loss for those left behind. A loss of them physically. A loss of holding them. A loss in seeing them grow. Them becoming the person we knew they would be. The future memories. The photos we will never have. The laughs. Being able to hold them when they are sad. For parents it is the loss of listening, supporting. And always loving physically. The hole that now belongs at every Xmas, every birthday, every mother's or father's Day. At every moment that family belongs together. It is a loss that never heals. A hole that never closes.
We all belong to a community that we don't want to. Mother's, father's, brothers and sisters, family and friends. A group of people who are the ones left behind. The keepers of their memory. The ones who are tasked with saying their name. The ones who continue to post their old photos and remember the funny things, the sad things. We are a community that can only know. One we'd give anything to not belong to. But we are also a community full of love and support for each other.
If you are a new member, or one who has been here a long time, I see you. I feel you. We are ALL here for YOU. We are each other's support. Each other's acknowledgment of the pain. We are the only ones who can know. Because there are no words for this loss.
For me it's my BAYLIN.
Please feel free to remember you're loved one either by a photo or simply their name.
Because that is now our job.
The keeper of the memories. The reminder to others to hold your loved ones closer.
We won't ever forgetđź’™
