I’m sat here in tears, after reading this. One could only dream of a connection like yours and Poppy’s. I would say it seems destiny for you two to have met… but it feels more like gravitational pull, a connection that was so instinctive, so integral that it was meant to be. Thank you for sharing this. Thank you for letting the rest of us, have a small glimpse into the world of Amber and Poppy. She’ll be doing her dance a day, right beside you forevermore. xxx
I'm especially grateful (if that's the word) to read that you discounted how close you were to Poppy at times in order to cope.
When I learned that my friend Steve had ended his life in June 2021, I used the phrase 'peripheral support person' in an email to my therapist.
As I've lived into the magnitude of that loss, I've kicked myself for expressing it that way.
The word complex doesn't do justice to this experience - thank you for sharing your process as you grieve for Poppy, and the version of you that spent so much time with her.
She was an absolute force. So are you <3
So good to find you here Laura!💜

Beautiful words for a beautiful human. May her memory live on through you and the community 🤍✨🫶🏼
A beautiful ode to what sounds like a beautiful friendship ❤️ Thank you for sharing, Amber!
Your words are palpable. I hope to have your strength one day 💔 My 12 year old daughter passed away Oct 3, 2022. It’s so so hard 😔
Thank you, Amber.
I appreciate you sharing your truth with us.
