This is brutal to read. And, I have gratitude for the truth and dedication to love and loving in the words. Grateful to be among a community of warriors. The phrase that came to mind “just because you carry it well doesn’t mean it isn’t heavy”.
Oh, Naomi, I'm sorry for you and your Lunchette family. My heart goes out to you all! Thank you for having the courage and commitment to share this honest, insight-filled, piece so early. I feel in this moment like I knew Kyle, and feel the painful tragedy of his humanness. We're so multi layered. Many carry pain inside where no one can see it or fathom its depth. I'm glad you didn't have time to make this piece any different at all. It's a compassionate and loving tribute to Kyle. I'm sure being part of Lunchette made his life infinitely better even while his chronic disease gained on him in the end. Sending much love and strength.
To “love hugely.” It is the only way to peace of mind, and freedom. We will be grieving for a while. He is free; I know that having had a NDE. But the loss of his physical presence, his heart that you “want to want”… this part is devastating. Thanks for writing, Naomi.
What words can be said to comfort you? I don’t know them. I send you my admiration for your insights and the ability you have to express your feelings. I’m here for you. Love, Syl Forest
I am so sorry for you and all the others who were close to Kyle. Thank you, again, for your beautiful writing. We have addiction in my family as well, and I understand a little of the terror that comes with these issues. Love to you.
Oh Naomi!! I saw the title of this and thought immediately….”I have to read it. Perhaps send it to Naomi”…and there you were. This is such a lovely, heartfelt tribute. My heart goes out to all who knew him.
