Oh Rachel,

I am so so sorry for your huge loss. I am sorry I never met Kiki (at least I don't think I did). I imagine you might feel like a huge chunk of your past died along with her but that's so not true. The way you have just written about her and your lives together then (and now) is so vividly alive. And yet, there's the huge piece missing: her. I know this feeling. There's nothing I can say to make it easier, but please know I'm sending you so much love and Psychic support. <3 , Barbara

Thank you, Barbara. That means a lot to me. I will always hear her voice in my head and I treasure that.

This post stirs my heart so! My ex-turned-close-friend died almost ten years ago...I dream about her from time to time and wear her old t-shirts. Our connection lives on and it seems like y'alls will, too. Thank you for this beautiful tribute.

I also believe those connections live on, and I'm glad you have her shirts to wear and hold her close in that way.
