I suspect that part of your process in your important grief work is going to be saying Fuck You to everyone who thinks they understand ~ because nobody does, really. Allow yourself the fuck yous, the I love yous and everything else you see on the crazy upsidedown roller coster ride which will be your home from now until forever. Go to the beach and scream into the ocean. Nothing is right and nothing is wrong. It just is. And here I am babbling away like I know what I am talking about and I honestly have no idea. I just know, like so so many other people in your many communities and in Alex's community , that I care. Claudia P.S. I think Alex was extraordinary and cute as a bug. Dear Scott ~

Hit reply too soon! ... let this blog be whatever you need it to be, Scott. If it's catharsis, then so be it. Nothing is written in stone and love is something we can't see anyway. Do what you can and don't sweat it. What you are going through is unfathomably hard. Don't be afraid to express it. Oops! Hit reply too soon! … let this blog be whatever you need it to be, Scott.

I am so sorry for your loss. As a parent, I can't even begin to imagine the pain you must feel. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. I hope you are able to find peace. The only wisdom I can share is that my mom lost her son/my brother when he was only 15. When she spoke of his death, she always said to me that God will only give us what we can handle. I find strength in those words even if I will never understand fully how these things make sense but I do believe your son is in a better place. I wish you much strength and much faith. -Jami Scott,

I love you... la la la la la & Bella loves you too. Each new experience that you give yourself, brings you to more self as love. In this moment, bring an experience such as being with a loved one, watching a sunset or going to a walk, to your conscious awarness. Feel that experience of Love within you. The more you experience love and self without separation, in an extremely personal and unique way, the more you will be able to recognize your individuality. The more you recognize your individuality, the more you can heal what us experienced dualistically. -Seeds of the Spirit- PS: Bella liked her picture a lot, she says that next time she will do her best pose jaja :) xo Scotty :)

I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glint on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you wake in the morning hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circling flight. I am the soft starlight at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there. I did not die." -Mary Frye. I will say a prayer for your son and for your family. My deepest condolances. I know you don't know me and I didn't know your son but someway I ended up on your page. Now you have an angel who will always look over you. “God doesn’t give you the people you want. He gives you the people you need: to help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you, and to make you into the person you were meant to be.” “Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep.
