That hurt. Reading her talking about a suicide plan hurt a lot. I recognize some of that pain. I've been carrying my own since the election. I can hear an echo of myself. "A few years of joy after finding myself and now they're trying to take it all away." I wish I could help. I reached out on Bluesky but I wish I could do more. I can't not think about it. I know it's going to get worse. I know I'm going to lose siblings in the near future, many of whom I will never meet. I know that list of names on TDOR is just going to get longer. But I refuse to let myself become numb to it. If grief is the only way I can love, I will do it. Until it's time for someone to say my name.
