losing someone
7 years ago
General
is never easy... every time, it stings almost like its brand new. someone who was so kind to me in this community has lost their life much too early, and now so many people feel that sting of loss.
la-glacefurball ... we all will miss you, your art, and your characters so much. you were a joy to be around, and were someone who always made me smile, without fail. i cant thank you enough for that, its a gift i dont take lightly. i know all of your friends felt that way about you too, and your family, and the animals you rescued and cared for. im far from the only one hurting right now. i barely feel as though i deserve to be hurting as much as i am, if im being honest.
I wish i could say we were close, that i knew her well, anything like that... but now i feel as though i barely knew her half as much as i wanted to. i wanted to reach out and talk more, but i was a coward. i was forgetful. i didnt maintain connections. i curse myself for it, but I know i cant just blame myself, tempting as it is.
in the face of a sudden tragedy, suddenly it feels as though your own actions bore little consequence. you could have done more. you should have, before it was too late. but you didnt. and now you cant. you never can. you can only shoulder your burden and conduct yourself forward, maybe a little more mindfully. a little more gratefully.
ive felt this way through every loss, im sure lots of you have too. its a cold reminder to treasure your time and let those close to you know how you feel. i used to try to do that a lot: tell people what they mean to me, just in case. i gave up because i didnt want to seem weird or creepy. now, i guess it really would have made me feel better to be weird and creepy... at least then i could have told glace how valuable her friendship was to me, how much i appreciated her. i'll just have to strive to be less afraid, before its too late.
be kind. be safe. tell people that they matter to you. if you knew glace, please feel free to share stories. i would love to hear them.
Here's one of mine:
I remember Glace telling me about the resuce dogs she and her family cared for. as a shelter worker, it warmed my heart. likewise, she loved hearing about me bringing my work home with me in the form of 4 nutty rescue cats that i named after Undertale characters... she was also kind enough to help when my kitten Papyrus had vet bills piling up, and ill always appreciate that. even in a terrible moment, glace was willing to show kindness to a kitten she had only seen pictures of, and it meant so much to me and nux. it still does.
thank you to tsukihanakuro and masterskadu for spreading the word along to me and others. its not an easy job, but it had to be done and i appreciate it

She was really nice... it was always fun to talk to her in streams, and even I'm grateful about how she donated for Pap... I wish I had gotten to know her better... I'm here if you want to talk, honey.
