🧍 Written by Brian:
I'm Brian. I work at a small coffee shop in Seattle. It's been almost a year since my mother died of cancer. We were very close—the call every morning, coming home with a quick soup at night, or going to the market together on the weekends—these little moments were the center of our lives.
But now everything is empty.
After my mother left, the normal rhythm of my life seemed to have been disrupted. I tried to be well, work, spend time with friends—yet deep down, an emptiness constantly consumes me.
People think time heals everything. But I think time just makes you accustomed to the pain.
I know I have to get over it. But how?

"When you lose something, everything doesn't stop—but something changes"
Dear Brian,
your words made my heart heavy. Losing a soulmate like your mother is not just painful, but an experience that is beyond words. Let me first say that you are not alone. Many people in the world carry a void that is invisible to the eyes, but burns deep inside.
1. Grief is not something to be forgotten, but something to be given space in the form of love.
It's not inhuman to want to forget your sorrow. But before you want to forget the grief, let it be felt. It's an expression of love for your mother. If someone gives love forever, we should have the right to feel it for a while, right?
2. May memories return as light, not as thorns.
You said—your mother used to make you soup. One Friday, try making soup with that same recipe. It might bring tears to your eyes at first, but after a while you'll realize—you didn't just lose her, a part of her still lives inside you.
3. Grief is not weakness, but a kind of courage.
We always think that 'courage' means forgetting the pain. But Brian, courage means living with the pain—telling yourself, "I know it's not easy, but I'm going to get up."
4. Losing someone makes you feel your presence in the world more deeply.
Your mother's absence will lead you to those people who need someone like you right now. Maybe one day, you will tell your child, "Your grandmother used to make me this soup one day."
🕯️In closing:
Brian,
your mother is gone, but her love remains.
The echo of her smile still rings in your mind, the feel of her touch still lingers in your hands.
There are many loves in this world that never die—your mother's love is one of them.
You will walk slowly, stop sometimes, cry again... but still you will move forward. Because you know how to love.
And love never goes in vain.
With love and courage,
