I was at work when the news broke. My phone buzzed – just another news alert, I thought. But then I glanced at the screen, and the words stopped me cold: Diogo Jota, dead at 28.
This was such a thought provoking read, handling a topic such as grief usually makes a post very hard to read (and sometimes it should be hard) but the way you’ve spoken in such a careful and comforting way or simply exploring grief from the example you used of a death of a someone famous was gentle yet deep. Thank you for sharing
Hey.. this was too good. I mean I honestly never thought abt things this way and this whole post brought tears in my eyes. I had a period of grieve and it was just weird, I never cried..neither sad nor showed any emotions. I was just still and it felt like I became stone. If anyone asks me what happened back then with me, I don't think I will be able to answer. Maybe it was just pure shock I was 10 after all..or maybe it wasn't. I don't know but I am so glad you wrote this. This is the kind of thing I will never be able to forget. It may have answered some questions I asked back then.
This is a very carefully, sensitively and beautifully written article, combining personal reflections and factual information on a very difficult topic. For sure, life is transient, uncertain, as fragile as a bubble that can burst at any time and that ‘twist in the kaleidoscope’ means that, although life goes on, it will never be the same again. A great read.

That’s a beautiful comment - thanks Sam. I’m glad you connected with it.
Beautifully put. This captures exactly why some losses feel so personal, even when we never met them.
Thanks Allen!
