I stumbled on this via a post on twitter, and read it, holding my mother’s hand as she dozed in and out of sleep in the hospital bed we had installed in the living room a few weeks ago, in order for her to die at home. I just wanted to send my heartfelt condolences to you, and to say thank you for articulating many of the emotions I’m currently experiencing in this bizarre, nightmarish liminal space…
Thank you for your lovely reply and I'm so sorry you've been going through a similar experience, I hope you and your mum have had some peaceful moments together and you're able to take care of yourself too - I know how hard self-care is when you're looking after a parent x
this moved me to tears so heavily i had to make an account just to tell you. thank you for this really beautiful piece and im hoping with every fiber in my body that the days ahead hold a lot more peace and joy for you. thank you ❤
Thank you for his lovely comment and apologies for my late response - my dad actually passed the morning after I posted this piece. I'm glad the writing moved you, and thank you for making an account just to tell me as such, it's very kind of you
This essay deserves a thoughtful comment, but everything I think of to say seems trivial. I don’t know you, but for a brief moment, while I was reading, I think I saw you. At the very least, I saw your writing, and I liked it; I believe you must keep writing. My condolences for your loss.
