At the end of March, in 2024, we geared up to mark the second Easter without Cosmin.
This year, we accepted our relatives’ invitation and found ourselves in a house bustling with two toddlers, two very pregnant mothers, one young girl in her late teens, and another young girl, navigating her journey through life.
Never did envy or ill feelings surface within us. In fact, we wholeheartedly wished them all the best. Yet, it was challenging to sit on the sidelines, unable to engage in discussions about parenting, schools, colleges, and life strategies.
We departed, a tad melancholic, with a profound sense of emptiness lingering within.
Melancholy, a sculpture created by Albert Gyorgy, portrays the void that grief leaves us with.
As dark as this artwork may be, it serves as some sort of comfort to those who’ve experienced a loss, as they feel they identify with this sculpture.
This famous sculpture can be found at Lake Geneva, Switzerland.
I came across this photo today, and it resonated with me on a deep, molecular level.
We might seem that we continue to lead our lives as if everything is normal. There may be fleeting instances of joy and happiness, occasional laughter, and my sarcastic comments and witty writing. Nevertheless, genuine happiness evades us at this moment. The humor born from true contentment and joy has disappeared, never to return.

Keep writing!
Write to yourself, write to Cosmin, write to the Univers – it doesn’t matter. Give words to what you feel, how you feel, what you see, or listen to, write them down and send them out. It’s medicine for the soul, it’s healing, trust me.
My heart goes out to you two.
… and I’ll keep reading you (as I said it before, I love your writing).
