Loss
We never actually met I never saw her face or heard her voice except through a strange unreal, surreal link. But we shared so much became firm stranger-friends bound together by a common unexpected, uninvited, intruding disease invading, consuming our bodies too long undiscovered too long undisturbed We bumped into each other in this virtual world Sharing our tears of laughter and fear Each other’s face, name Unknown, unfamiliar Yet holding each other’s hands while pushed along our medical path disease and drugs trying, but unable, to strip us of dignity And then she was gone. Stolen Suddenly Unexpectedly From her family From her friends And from a woman she had never met
Beutifully put Philippa
i love this, philippa. perfect.
Thanks so much 🙂
and to quote you too ” “How peculiar to have the wind knocked out of me because a stranger has died” – so so true and beautifully put. It’s a strange new world that brings and takes away again.

Philippa, Thank you so much for directing me here, this expresses your feelings so beautifully. I’m sorry for this loss of a dear friend that you never even met, but yet “knew” so well.
