A part of grief no one talks about is the pain of having gossip that your dead friend would relish.
@MoiraDonegan It always hits me that a loved one is gone when I want to tell them something and can't.
@MoiraDonegan Yes, I've been feeling this. My late best friend was a Columbia grad. She'd be so proud of the students there and so contemptuous of the administration.
@MoiraDonegan My grandmother has been gone for almost 40 years now and I still come across things I want to tell her.
@MoiraDonegan Too real. It's been 17 years and I still want to tell her all the goss.
@MoiraDonegan My brother and I would always critique how my mom wouldn’t watch the stove. I asked her to watch the broccoli while I barbecued. When I went to serve the broccoli was raw. Only my brother would understand my frustration, but he was gone.
@MoiraDonegan @offbeatorbit It’s true. I miss gossiping with my partner so much.
@MoiraDonegan hgnnnn yes this argh this
@MoiraDonegan The dumbest thing that’s ever triggered my grief after losing a friend was meeting a juggalo and knowing how THRILLED she would have been. I got back to my car and sobbed, it made me miss her so much
@MoiraDonegan My brother swears that on her deathbed, my mom made him promise that he would never get married again. I don’t believe she did that, but if she were still alive, she would love that he tells new girlfriends this story and we would laugh about it 🥰
