Author's Note
A FarewellThis Chapter is here because we reached 500 messages that we managed to publish today. To me this is a massive number, and I was so surprised at how big this had actually gotten. But this shows once more that there is a need to talk about things like this. We need a place to talk about mental illnesses, we need to share our grief, we need to stand together, we need to make sure no one is alone in a situation like this. And even if it is just virtually, having someone to talk to can be the greatest thing in the world. So never forget that the smallest gesture of kindness, the shortest conversation can be worth so much more.
I am really moved by how many people have joined this process, how many have offered to be an open ear to people who need someone to talk to. So I hope all of you are getting the support you need, also those offering help: Take care of yourself first.
To everyone who has been gifting me Karma to advertise this place, thank you, from the bottom of my heart. It is so encouraging to see that people care. Because what I got to know because of this project: PEOPLE DO CARE. We just need to find each other.
It has been a rough time for me too, and reading your messages, even if it wasn't always easy (I cried so much while reading them, you have no idea) i think it helped me. It gave me a purpose. So thank you all for opening your heart. It means the world to me. It is one of the most courageous things to do.
I Love every single one of you, no matter if we know each other or not, no matter if we talked or not.
So I'll give you my name, my name is Robyn. And it is nice to meet you. I hug you all. Very tight.
Thank you for being by my side in these difficult days.
