Someone very beloved to a community I was a part of recently passed away. The news came as a sudden shock to me. Like being shot in the heart with an arrow. I am currently suffering with the denial stage of grief. My brain doesn’t want to believe this is reality. This person inspired me in so many beautiful ways, touched my heart and indirectly helped me through dark times. Now they’re gone and I feel at a loss. I don’t feel like I can carry on with the very thing this wonderful person inspired me to start. I’m at a total loss. I’m mourning over someone who I’ve never met. But they felt close.

they would be so honored you care about them so much. send a letter to the local newspaper to talk about them.

Thank you for your suggestion 
Thank you. That’s made me see things differently.
Hi,
At the end of the day, grief is grief and I think it’s totally understandable that you’re feeling deeply moved by the passing of someone in your community. How beautiful it is that they managed to touch the life of someone they haven’t even met so profoundly that you’re grieving their loss.
I’m also sure that they wouldn’t want you to stop involving yourself in things that you love and that bring you joy.
Take some time to process what has happened and acknowledge all of the feelings that come with grief.
Give yourself time.
Sending love to you

Your words mean a lot to me and help so much. I value and appreciate your support. I plan to get a little tattoo of an animal they loved to honour them. I think that’ll help me 
Thank you
