In Loving Memory of My Brother
|5X FEATURED Β· SPOTLIGHT STORY| Learning to cope with death is one of the most challenging obstacles any of us has to face, especially if that death is unexpected. When your whole world has changed, what do you do to overcome grief and keep your loved one's memory alive? *** I never knew how much trauma could affect a person until after my older brother died unexpectedly on August 17th, 2021. I came out of the experience as not the Victoria I was used to, but the Victoria who now had a massive hole in her heart. I come from a long line of fighters. My family and I pulled off different strategies to help us move on from such a devastating death, strategies that I am going to share in this book. Sometimes, the best way to overcome grief is to write about it. After all, writing is an escape to a different world where I still have my Green Guardian. These pieces and pictures I'm going to share with you are not meant to depress anybody, but to illustrate just how wonderful a person Matthew was. His story is sad, but it's a story of hope. His legacy remains in my heart today, and I want to share it because I know I'm not the only person who has lost somebody so unexpectedly. *** Ovid (on when his brother died): "iamque decem vitae frater geminaverat annos, cum perit, et coepi parte carere mei." ("And he had just doubled ten years of his life when he died, and with him, a part of me.") β Featured on @StoriesUndiscovered || Change in Reality Reading List. β Featured on @nonfiction || Personal Struggles, Essays, and Coping Reading Lists. β Featured on @nonfiction || Our #NonFicSpotlight (May Spotlight) Reading List. β Featured on @nonfiction || Past Spotlights Reading List. β Featured on @nonfiction || Memoir Reading List.Complete
Glass Heart
Just a short story I wrote and am very proud of, TWs include mental illness, death of family, teen pregnancy (breif mentions), neglect, toxic home life, suicide, depression, self harm, running away, self-loathing, breaking mirrors and the recovery process of mental illness. List of help lines if needed: https://checkpointorg.com/global/ (btw there's so much symbolism it would make my English teacher proud and the writing style is also strange at best, good luck)Complete

Moments
Your life is made up of a hundred million moments. Those moments are made up of seconds. Seconds counted by a universal clock. There are good moments, bad moments, painful moments, and moments that change your life forever. In your lifespan, you save your moments in a non-seeable organ called your brain. Some moments you remember for the rest of your life, and some get swept away to the back of your brain to sit with the other forgettable moments. Our lives are started by a moment. Either a moment of love or a moment with a stranger that you'll never see again. My life started with a stranger that to this day I had never seen. That is until now. My name is Willow and my life changed in one single second controlled by a countable collection of unforgettable moments.Complete
