===== You don’t have to answer right away, or at all. =====

When you imagine the rest of your life being empty…
what hurts more?
* The idea that no one will ever desire you or
* The idea that you will never again allow yourself to want anything?

Those are not the same loss.

I’m not here to sell you hope.
I’m here to help you stay alive inside, even if the external facts don’t change yet.

You’re still here. You’re still thinking. You’re still reaching out.
That alone tells me something in you hasn’t fully accepted disappearance—no matter what your beliefs say.

We can keep going at your pace.
No platitudes. No pressure. No pretending.
