*Hugs* I know he'd be very proud of you for how hard you've been working on keeping the site going and in general.

Give you a hug

Retrospective thoughts can hurt quite a bit. It does get easier with time. To me these feelings are proof the relationships we share with others are real 💜

Always around to talk 👂

I can empathize. I felt/feel the same regarding my sister. I seen a piece here on the site that had me losing it for a moment, that "punch in the gut" feeling. It's always some random thing you'd never even consider. I offer hugs if you'd like them, and offer my support 100%. I can relate to your pain, and I'm sorry it's something you have to endure as well.

Your vent art is relatable.
I also miss him...
I hope he is in a better place.

My stickers and pins arrived in the post this morning. They'll be going on my computer case and noticeboard (when it gets put up on the wall). I think of him often, and it does hurt. It really does. We'll be strong for him 💙🫂

It will take a long time for you to allow yourself to be at peace.
He'd most likely feel the same way if it was the other way around.
Keep pushing forward!
You are strong!
He knows that you are.
Give yourself time to mourn as you are allowed to do so.
Give yourself a moment to remember the good memories.
We all have your back and you got this!

I'm so sorry for you're loss. I don't have anything inspiring to say 🙁
However I found this community thanks to Furaffinity.net and I'm grateful for this.

:c /pats u/

We always wish we had one more time with those we miss most.

All we can do is cherish the days we did have.

This seems so relatable so much.

I just wish i could meet him in person online but it truly hurt so much that we miss him very deeply. So i understand how do you feeling and i'm very sorry for what happens. I'm sure he'll be proud of you to keep this website alive and running well. It's also okay to make a vent art like this one to let it out. Remember that the community are here for you, you're a strong lady and you are loved <3

Sending you the biggest of hugs.

I'm so sorry you are struggling. Loss is so complicated and confusing to process and it takes a long time... dont forget to be patient with yourself and let yourself feel the things you need to. Sending good vibes your way~

Lost my Dad two weeks ago, and its still really hard.

Thanks Sciggles, honestly I'm still trying to wrap my head around everything. It hurts my brain just to think how fast my Dad went.

I understand what you're going through. My mom died about 3 months ago and it's been difficult to adjust to.

Honestly, if wasn't for some friends I've met here on FA, it would've hit even harder. Thank you for continuing to keep Dragoneer's legacy alive and I wish you all the best.

He'd be proud of how dedicated you've been at picking things up and continuing the site's legacy.

Loss is an awful thing. It happens too quick, too often and every time you are not prepared for it however long you were expecting it to happen.

In this case it hits harder cause it might had been avoidable if circumstances were different. If the world eould be different.

I can't say to much else about it as I developed an mental disorder which denies me to express emotions outside of my brain. I can feel grief but can never vent it. Feel happy but never show anyone. Being angry but always sound indifferent if I speak.

I only wish you that you have friends of family to support you in this dire times

Sending hugs your way

*hugs*

Ive been there before, lost my dad jan 14 2012 just after Christmas, and lost a partner a year back, it never gets easy the pain will always remain, but keeping yourself with good company makes it easier to deal with and the pain that feels like a knife, will eventually dull to a ache over time

I don't know what to say.

I hope youvwill be OK.

🫂

So sorry Hun, I lost family fairly recently to cancer- Know you are not ever alone and cared for- If you like, I'm always open to support you and listening ear for you. He loved you, and you him- That can never go away- Love is forever. You are strong and amazing, so many good things. We are all here for you, Sciggles; always <3

There's nothing I could...possibly say to make it better. So I'll just say I'm so sorry, and I've got your back.

Loosing friends are hard, i don't know how many times i have bee dreaming about those i have lost

OK

It's okay to let your emotions flow through you when you're grieving. If you gotta cry, cry. That's normal and human. Grief will smooth out in time, but till then it's okay to feel sad when memories cross your mind.

Oof ouch. *hugs* Yeah sometimes I remember our last conversation and it gets me. Really sorry its hitting you so hard. 💜

🫂

It's good you express this dark, heavy emotion. Be it through art or maybe something else. It's a painful process, I know, but it is the healthier choice on the long term. This pain shows your humanity, your compassion, and must not be repressed or fought back because it will only get worse if this happens.

In my experience, it can also feel good to do ceremonial things now and then, peaceful rituals, to mourn a loved person who passed away.

Most importantly, take your time. 🖤

You did an amazing job reflecting the raw pain and emotion in your sona's expression and body language. 💔 I don't know if this was intentional or if i'm looking too far into it, but it was a clever to draw her with the hairstyle she used to have. It evokes the feeling of not just grieving someone you loved, but being engulfed in your memories with them, in who you were with them. It's passionate and heartbreaking. 💔

I'm sure you've heard this a million times, but you have been doing an amazing job! Especially when you take into consideration you've been grieving while struggling with the weight of FA now on your back. :c You've already made FA such a brighter and more hopeful place, and i'm so excited to see whats to come! Neer would be so proud of you, I think. <3
