First, I'm so sorry for your losses; they are massive. Second, as a person who has also experienced unfathomable grief, I offer you encouragement to continue asking yourself the hard questions and exploring who you are now. Something that's not often spoken about in relation to grief is the grief the grievers go through of their former selves. I miss who I was before my little brother died so tragically, but I'm also learning to love who I am now, who I am becoming. I hope the same for you ❤️
