Rant #1943

I had a friend who tragically passed from gun violence in 2021. This person meant so much to me and I’ve recently found out that I am pregnant and I’ll be naming them after my friend. It has brought up a lot of emotions and because of how violent the crime was it’s really hard for me to talk about them because what happened to them is so far from how they were in life. I get bouts of feeling so angry and also being so sad that I get choked up and cry at work even now. Having someone you care for so deeply pass and the world just keeps going on and nobody talks about them is something that has been so difficult about the grieving process.
