#/ grief

[embervoices]

It's even okay to grieve the loss of a thing you never had but very much wanted to have - the loss of a possibility, a goal, an important wish.

There are many forms of grief, and we may not even grieve the same way for all of them, much less the same way as each other.

It's okay.

Grief matters.

You matter.

Let yourself grieve.

It's okay to 'grieve' things that aren't just death. I've allowed myself to grieve a friendship ending, a situationship, losing something important to me, etc. It's okay to give yourself time to process the loss of something. Grief looks different for everyone, try to find a way that works for you to help make it easier for you.

NCIS Origins s01e07: “I didn't want to be here anymore. That's how I got hurt. I have been living with [my wife and daughter] gone! I can't keep doing that if a guy that [murdered my wife and daughter] is out there living, too.”

[brigitoshaughnessy]

The only one of his kids that he even sort of gets to keep, and he has to share her.

And the imposter syndrome he must feel every time one of these kids looks at him and thinks “this is the man I’m going to trust” because he knows he can’t be trusted, but he can’t stop himself because if he can protect these kids the way that he didn’t protect Charlie, he can redeem at least a corner of his soul.

I’m not crying, you’re crying!

I’m so worried about Louis tho.. he looked so exhausted and just.. truly worn out. It must be so hard for him, not only for loosing a dear friend and brother but the fact that he’d tried to be there, that he’d previously tried to pull Liam out of a dark place, that he knows the hardships they faced and the twisted stuff they went through.. that he’s probably also fought his own demons (and addictions) and preserved (and for that I’m so thankful) .. I’m just worried he’s carrying unwarranted guilt .. and the horrible sorrow of having to face such tragedy over and over again.. it offers little solace to know he’s not alone in this ❤️‍🩹

I think many people in the fandom feel similarly about Louis. He looked about how you would be expected to look if you'd just lost one of your closest friends––exhausted, sad, pale, thin, etc. Obviously, I hope he's okay, too. But I've seen a lot of people blowing things out of proportion and making themselves anxious over something we have no knowledge of or control over.

What we do know about Louis is that he has many people in his life who would do anything for him. So, even if he's trying to push people away, he's got a lot of people who aren't going to let that happen. And, if nothing else, he has Harry, Zayn, and Niall, who understand how he feels as close as anyone can. Yes, he's been through way too much, and yes, he might feel extra guilty because he'd tried to help Liam before. But Louis is smart enough to know (and sadly, experienced enough to know) that you can only help addicts as much as they're ready to help themselves. If he's blaming himself at the moment, I don't think he'll let that drag him under.

Anyway, sending him love, healing, and supportive energy and thinking good thoughts about him (and the others, as well, of course) is all we can do at the moment. I suppose the only positive part of Louis having experienced so much loss already is that he knows the pain becomes less with time, even if it never fully goes away.

when you’re sad about the state of the world and the fact that it’s gonna get even worse and also it’s officially holiday season and you’re grieving so you listen to hadestown but then stupid fucking gay people ruin the mood

I feel like so many people ignored the fact that Sevika lost everyone she had as a found family. She had Jinx to share her grief with Silco, but now she lost Jinx and Isha. She has no one really close to her like that or even to know what they went through all together, and she's so lonely. Even the fact that Vi can grieve with the fact that she's (Jinx) gone but not in the way Sevika can is so sad.

No but this works on so many levels.

Time [the passage of time] eats all his [The Outsider's] children in the end.

But also from the original reference of Time [Kronos] eating all his children-

The Outsider destroys all his own children in the end, and I just-

IT WORKS SO WELL. THIS IS BEAUTIFUL, OP. ALL THE KUDOS TO YOU.

Yoinked a line from a musical, can you guess which musical?

[creatureseason]

i never knew that longing

could feel so scarily similar

to misplaced trust and the heavy ache

of burning lust and biting shame

the loss of a sense of belonging

and i know how it feels

to be discarded by a savior

or at least the metaphorical manifestation

of the guilt that they preach on sunday

through a scripture that’s wrongly translated

i know bruised knees and dry mouths,

confessions on bathroom floors

i’ve felt the tight grip in my hair

i learnt holiness between her legs

more than i ever did praising a god

that they said would rather see me dead

than losing a chance at going to heaven

All my grief says the same thing - this isn't how it's supposed to be. And the world laughs, holds my hope by my throat, says: but this is how it is.
