When someone passes away, and others tell you not to mourn because they're in a better place, believe them. Believe that they're now in a better place.

When I was younger, I lost my great grandfather. Because I was so young, I didn't know what was going on, so I didn't cry. I stood near by and stared on as adults cried endlessly, while others patted their back and told them to stop crying.

During that time, even though I was young, I still knew things. When someone you love passes on, a natural thing to do is cry, so when I saw others force themself to stop crying, I always wondered why? Why are they trying not to cry? It's always okay to cry when someone you love leaves you.

Then my mom told me. "If you cry, their soul will hear you, and if they hear your cries, it'll be hard for them to cross over, because they'll want to come back and wipe your tears. Their journey to heave will be difficult, because your every teardrops will wet their wings, and it'll make it difficult to for them to move on."

Altough my tears are heavy, I only hope that my prayers will help dry their wings so that they'll be able to reach heaven. I hope that they will get endless happiness. Just like EunB, RiSe was a beautiful soul, inside-out. They were both too young. They didn't experience life to their fullest, and they recently just made their dreams. it was too early for them, but if God had wanted them by his side sooner, I hope that he will care for them with love and joy.

RiSe, you're truly a beautiful person. I came to know you at such a difficult time, and now you're gone with the wind. It's definitely heart breaking that you're gone now. I prayed and prayed for your recovery. I did my best, and even so, I couldn't help. My only regret towards you is not doing anything to help but only sit here and pray. You're a true fighter for lasting this long. If there's anything I'm glad about since hearing about the tragic accident, it's the fact that you and EunB are no longer sufferring. You will be remembered as a strong fighter, beautiful person, beautiful idol. You will always be loved and remembered by your family, friends, and fans. May you rest in peace, beautiful one.

I give my deepest and most sincere condoleneces to her family and close ones.

I want to thank her family for raising such an angel like her. I want to thank her friends for making sure she's not lonely and helping her out with life. I want to thank her fans for supporting her dreams to where she has reached them and was continuing forward. I want to thank her agency for allowing her to dream under your care. I want to thank her members for sticking to her with her dreams and helping her achieve her dreams.

My heart hurts so much. Just after losing so much strength after hearing about EunB, I hear about another tragic happening. 

We Love You, Kwon Ri Se
