@kekesbookrats: i’ve missed you guys ❤️🩹 im so thankful for your support & hope you guys stick with me as i navigate my life now. and thank u sarah j maas for your books that literally are saving me
Someone once told me something when I lost someone close to me that I’ve never forgotten…
When someone you love dies, it feels like the world is supposed to stop. And when it doesn’t, when people keep going, laughing, living like nothing changed, it can make you want to scream, “Doesn’t anyone see what just happened?”
Grief is disorienting like that. It makes everything feel loud and quiet at the same time. But I’ve also come to understand this: grief is just love with nowhere to go.
And somehow, over time, it changes you. It softens you. It makes you more present, more aware of how fleeting everything is. You start to hold people a little closer, say the things you used to hold back, take the risks you once avoided.
It doesn’t make it easier,but it makes it meaningful in a different way.
I’m so sorry you’re going through this. You’re not alone in it.

Been watching you forever. You are the one “creator”, “influencer”, “YouTuber” and human I’ve been supporting and kept up with and cared for for years. People call it parasocial but it’s just not. It’s genuine care. I am so sorry this happened to you and your family . I’ve been a longtime follower of you and your mother. I don’t have words to say to compare to what you and your family are feeling just know as a follower and someone who kept up with you guys it hurts us seeing you guys hurt. I felt the need to say something but there isn’t anything enough to say. We love you ❤️

There are literally no words to provide comfort in this situation, but I know she is so proud of you no matter what! I feel like everyone that’s been here for a long time knows how you feel about your mom and more importantly she knows how you feel about her, even if you can’t put it into words. Sending love ❤️

Reading through these comments, i relate to majority of the people that have been following you for a decade and have grown with you. I adored watching your vlogs and videos with your mom/family because your bond was like no other and the way Shawna showed up for the people she loved was something so special and beautiful. When I learned of her passing, i can’t explain it because I don’t know you guys personally but it really affected me. Shawna was such a bright, loving, bubbly person and it’s crazy to think that she’s no longer with us, that we will no longer see pictures of her events she organized. I lost my mom June 2024 and and there’s a quote I love from Andrew Garfield when he was talking about his mother passing, “I hope this grief stays with me because it’s all the unexpressed love”. It’s okay to cry whenever you talk about her because she was who raised you, shaped you and supported you the most. I hope you continue finding the little things that heal you and always remember that she is so proud of you.

I’ve been following you since high school and I feel like I’ve grown up with you. You are such a beautiful person and your mom’s warmth and light shows through you. I lost my mom when I was 17 - I’m almost 30 now and I can tell you that’s it’s a hole that’s never filled. It’s a longing for someone that never goes away. I miss her everyday of my life. But… time heals everything. I spent the early days after losing her in so much grief and anger and that is normal and ok and a part of the healing process. Now, almost 12 years later, I’m still missing her but I’m not angry. I go about my day and small things make me think of her and smile. Keeping my life going and doing all the things her and I spoke about, that she wanted me to do, keeps her memory alive. You’ll get there too. You have a beautiful troop of family and friends surrounding you! And I can tell how much they love you! I’ve been praying for you and your family and will continue to 🩷 Just know that she is here, watching, and cheering you on from the sidelines like she always has.

grief is not linear, there is no “right” way to do it. i feel your pain through the screen. i lost my parents just a few years apart, way too soon. allow yourself the grace and the space to feel how you need to feel. i pray this continues to be a safe space for you. you’re not alone 💖

It will get easier to talk about her ♥️I lost my dad about 3 years ago. I miss and think about him every single day. Some days will be easier than others but you will get to the point that talking about her makes you smile. Sending so much love to you and your family ♥️
