Hey Antonio, I loved reading this, even if it left me despondent.

Grief never simply falls into place. Somehow, we're just able to make it our companion.

Thank you for the kind words Rasmus. I just want to assure you that I'm not such a bummer in real life😅.

If it helps. Eventually we healed or we keep healing.

Hah, sometimes we're all bummers. We always keep healing!

The way you’ve shared the raw and real experience of grief, from childhood to now, is both heart-wrenching and beautiful.

It’s odd, isn’t it? Despite its shared nature, it often leaves us feeling so isolated. I know we touched on death and loss in our chats, but this piece offers a whole new perspective. Thank you for opening up and sharing this with us.

Absolutely, one of lifes many paradoxes!

Im sure our chats were in my subconscious somehow.

Thank you for reading.

Also, have you considered being a professional reviewer? you write so well about your impressions and still manage to bring a sober approach.

I think there is a talent there!

Thank you so much! Maybe it's those communication classes from med school finally paying off 😅. I hadn't thought about professional reviewing, but I might just add it to my list of things to explore. Appreciate it, Antonio.

This is a beautifully written piece. Thank you for sharing. It really catches that feeling of loneliness whilst also looking at it as if you’re merely an observer. Great calibre of writing. Thank you

This was a great read Antonio. Personal and vulnerable. I can resonate well with not knowing if memories are actually memories or just something your brain made up to help you cope. Love the way your letter are going

Thank you, I think it's true for all of us to an extent. Memories are as reliable as the emotions of them.

Thank you for reading! real appreciate it.
