Marlena, this is the most beautiful post I've read about Lyssa. Such cruel irony that we are now mourning the one who reached out to others in their time of need in her own thread. I guess I'm still in the denial stage. I can't bring myself to believe it. I just can't...
Agreed, this was very touching marlena. She is the exact person that would have been perfect with comforting the loss of one of our own. My head is fighting with my heart, trying to convince it that this is true, she's not coming back and God was this cruel to take someone so perfectly deserving of life. I can't accept that right now.

I know, I know... I go from denial to anger to overwhelming sorrow and then back all over again.
She won't be comforting me anymore. But her poem will. I will commit it to memory and say it over and over again like a mantra when missing her becomes unbearable.

The irony of this thread is just.... devastating. I remember feeling at a loss for words when Lyssa lost her mum, but she definitely knew the right thing to say to me when I lost my dad and my grandmother in April this year.
All those feelings of sadness have come rushing back now, knowing that Lyssas family have to reopen all those wounds.
My heart aches for them all.
LS has lost one of its shining stars.

I was out on my balcony having a smoke last night when I saw a full moon rising over the trees in the little corner park. I felt my heart sink. Oh, no, I thought, not you too, Lyssa!! I burst out crying. How could something so beautiful make me sick to my stomach?
I know that you would tell me to look at the full moon as a symbol of my mother's life and all that it meant to the people it touched. Now it has becme a symbol of your life as well and the way it so gently and sweetly touched mine.

I miss you, dear friend.
When my grandfather died, I looked up at the night sky and found the brightest star. I smiled and I knew it was him, shining down on me. The night Lyssa passed away, I saw only one star. Only one. It shone so brightly. I smiled and I felt myself going back in time to when I was 15 and lost my grandfather. "Hello Lyssa", I said. I fell asleep with a smile on my face. She's watching over all of us. Protecting us.
