Each Death Is Different

A Farewell

I woke up this morning late since I called into work sick. I my computer only to see the words Jonghyun dead. I was shocked to see those words and thought how could someone post such cruel words. Then I clicked on the story and read it and prayed for it to be a bad joke. As time went on, I saw that SM confirmed his death. After that, I was left with a heavy heart and started to cry. Shinee and Hello Baby are what got me into Kpop. Listening to Jonghyun's voice was magical and I've always loved his voice and stage presence. I'm sorry that no-one was there to just hug you and say it's okay to be sad. I'm here for you. I would be there. Tough we speak two different languages, if talking helps, I'll lend an ear. A part of me keeps saying why did it have to be death but I guess that's the only option you felt you had. It was too hard to go on. You left this world alone thinking no-one really loves you but you were wrong. Your mother and sister love you dearly and so do your fans. Though the love you get from your family and fans are different we all still love you. I'm not mad at you but I'm sad that this had to happen. Along with the "why?", I keep thinking wasn't there someone who could have helped you in some way.

Over the years, I've lost loved ones more than I care to say. Each death is different. Though I didn't know Jonghyun personally his songs, voice and words will always stay with me. His voice and songs got me through rough patches in my life and I'm forever grateful. He will never be forgotten. Forever loved. When will my tears stop and when will I be able to listen to a Shinee song or watch a video. Right now, I'm not sure since each time I hear his voice, see him on the screen and I do is cry. One day I will listen to Shinee. Be free, rest in peace and God has gained an angel. Fly free. xoxo

Trying to advertise this for the 18th but someone else is bidding really hard so I am running out of karma (already bought more for over 30dollars) so if you have some spare you are willing to donate, I would be really thankful.

I'm aware that it isn't December but I just thought of this post. December will never be easy for a lot of us. I'm more aware of my depression around that time. I just became an adult and the realization that a lot can change has finally hit me. I'm not sure how to feel. People within my family have died or are dying and it seems like the only thing I'm allowed to do is move on. I'm no longer given the luxury of grieving the way I had with Jonghyun. There are so many fond memories that I can go back to with Jjong but for them I only have memories. So much has happened these past few years and while I'm not completely okay I can say there's plenty of room where I've healed.

As year 6 approaches I want my fellow Shawols to know that healing is hardly a linear task. It's okay to not be ready but where you are there's always going to be SHINee.

And Dear Author thank you for keeping this space for all of us.

It’s been five years today and just a few days ago I turned 27, the age Jonghyun-ah was when we had to say goodbye to him. I have long since had to “become an adult” and learn what growing up means; yet every year I come back to this little space, and read some of the messages that people wrote for him, and think back to the letter I wrote at 22 and never shared with anyone. I think back to a memory of me looking at the full moon and talking to him for hours, telling him I missed him terribly. We still miss you, friend. I still remember you fondly. I still remember me at 17 dancing to Replay in my room. I’ll always cherish those memories of our Spring.



Author, I hope you have been doing well. Thank you so much for keeping this space running for so long, it brings comfort to some more than you’ll ever know.

Chapter 818: I just really paid attention to SHINee this August. Yet, when Jonghyun passed away four years ago, I felt sad that another beautiful and caring person chose to leave this place. In fact, I didn't want to listen to any SHINee songs then.
Now, watching SHINee's MVs, I feel like I have accepted what happened and hope that he is really happy now.

Time keeps moving on and I wonder why I can't just go back and fix things to when it was so peaceful. So much has happened in the last four years and it feels as though there's only SHINee left to comfort me. Jonghyun for so long I've written my letters to you and I couldn't this year because I couldn't find the strength or will to when I was feeling down. I haven't cried this much since I was a baby. I promised last year that I would tread the new year with caution and that didn't work out so great. There's more I wanna say but I just wish you knew how much I love you. Thank you for being born and sharing your light with the world. Sincerely I love you. 𝑰 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒂𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 ❤️

It’s been 4 years now and so it’s hard to believe that you left us, but I still do remember you as SHINee’s Blingbling Angel and as the brightest star that shines in the sky.

I used to feel so lonely after knowing that you left us, that I was listening to Lonely everyday for about a year, but now I just remind myself that you’re still with us, as the bright shining star watching over us from the night sky. ❤️
I will always love you.
