Saying she feels āhaunted by him in beautyā is one of the realest and most painful ways Iāve heard someone describe this kind of loss.
Wishing her solace in such a difficult time.
Grief really shows how deep love ran soulmate doesnāt have to be romantic, and that somehow makes it hit even harder.
The fact that so many people describe him like this. š
I literally cry so much when someone talks about Gavin Creel even though I didnāt know him personally. He was such an incredible force in the theatre community and will be deeply missed.
What a wonderful way to speak about someoneĀ
Lost my twin a few months ago, and Iāve honestly always said my best friend is my soulmate.
What I can tell you is the way she speaks of Gavin showing up is so true and so pure. When youāre listening to life even unexpectedly after a lossā¦for a sign and it shows up especially in natureā¦itās the realest and most humbling experience ever.
I love her so much.
She is my favorite. What a beautiful way to frame her loss.
Now letās talk about her recent battle with cat corpses hidden in her wall.
Andersonās podcast is so good btw. This one in particular had me crying!
That was beautifully put especially being haunted by him in the beauty of nature.
The way she starts tearing up as soon as she says his name. So relatable. My mom died of cancer three years ago now. Sometimes I can talk about her with a smile on my face then other times I immediately burst into tears. Grief ebbs and flows like a wave.
All of this to say: Fuck cancer.
I joked (but also super serious) with my Dad to promise to haunt me for like the last 10 years of his life. Itās been 4 years & almost 4 mos now, where you at old man?!? It sucks every day without him
This quote always helps me a little when grief is feeling overwhelming.
āGrief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.ā
Sheās such an underrated artist and musician. Her lyricism in her songs is so beautiful (and her range when she sings is crazy). You can tell she feels very deeply and this is just one example.
Such a beautiful thing to say about a person and it speaks the character of both of them that their hearts were able to be true and open throughout it all.
And then you had cretins like Zachary Levi using Gavinās name to promote his own disgusting beliefs and conspiracies. Hope that loser has a miserable life.
