A really touching post you wrote, thank you for sharing this and my condolences to you and your loved ones. The great beyond is a beautiful mystery that I hope one day get to experience with awareness too. Where I can consciously die, a beautiful death. But only after living a life that was worth living, not sooner.

Even if you know in the core of your being that what lies beyond is more beautiful and wonderful than we can imagine as mere mortals, it’s still very hard to say goodbye. My deepest condolences to you and your family.
Thank you for sharing your father’s story btw, that was amazing.

There is something unconditionally beautiful and inspiring about your post.
First, I thought it is just the content of your father’s story. But it is not entirely that… It is also the way you are responding to the death of your aunt itself, which is showcasing your rare, rich and captivating spirit.
The more I grow as a person myself, the more I am appreciating your character @SaintSovereign. Like an expensive bottle of great red wine, not everyone can see the value the first time they taste it. This post truly made you be SaintSovereign in my mind. My biggest respect to you.

So true Alex. Three weeks into stage 2 of Khan, and I’m feeling a strong urge to jump ship to another sub. Thanks for the reminder!

I’ve found that the best plan for that is just have a set plan before you start and stick to it come hell or high water. Such as, I’m doing a year of khan starting Dec 1.

I fully agree! That approach definitely works. For me, I’m going to continue with stage 2 till late January…

Years ago, I wrote a young adult Nobel with elements of fantasy and southern gothic and never finished editing it, lol. I think I’ll finish it, then release.

Not the biggest fan of YA Novels, but southern Gothic fantasy sounds fascinating! Is it contemporary or victorian age?

Contemporary. It’s a rather dark story, takes place in the deep American south.

I have a story I started in 2014 or 2015. Never finished. That’s one of my biggest open loops. I shall close that loop lol

I just lost another aunt, this time on my mother’s side, and this one I was close with, as she was a constant presence in my life growing up. She and my mother were twins, and absolute best friends. There were few days that passed where they didn’t talk, even for just a few minutes.
I wish I had words of wisdom to say, but sometimes it’s best to simply not try to define what you’re feeling or pour it all into some platitude.
So rather than trying to do just that, I’m simply going to leave it at this: I’m going to miss my auntie. I love you, and I know I’ll see you again.

There is wisdom in this post though. As short as it is, it conveys a very powerful emotion and something we as humans will all inevitably go through. Sorry for your loss.
