For my Tessa
Half of my heart disappeared.
Disappeared from my life
Half of my soul vanished.
Vanished from this world.
A world filled with lies, drugs, and hurt.
Hurting is how I know I’m still alive.
Barely alive, how do I move on from your death?
Death never seems real.
Real?
What’s real are my thoughts.
Thoughts are hazy.
Hazy, foggy, and dark.
Dark and horrific.
Horrified by the fact that I can’t see your face.
Facing the truth that I can’t live with you.
You are my other half.

This is very raw and i am glad you shared it with us. I hope it was helpful for you to write about this experience. I lost one of my best friends from college to an overdose about 3 years ago. I thought about him every day for more than the first year.. Now i still think of him at least weekly. I have written about him a couple of times, and it always seemed to help.
Remember, pain and loss are unavoidable, but suffering is a choice.
love and respect,
Brad

My daughter, Tessa, died a year ago from an overdose... Your poem expresses a lot of how I feel. Thank you!

Hi Oracle
It's been a few years now you posted this.
This heartbreaking story
We all know death
But each one is different
Each death brings powerful loss.
I wonder now has time eased your anguish or is my words bringing it all back. Forgive me please if this is so.
I pray to the universe your pain has subsided over time. I hope it has.
I hope by now you've found some form of love and happiness
Love n peace O
💜💜💜🙏🙏
