To our OFMD fam who is intensely grieving and working through a myriad of emotions: your feelings are valid.

It's okay to be devastated, hopeless, angry, sad, lost, and in shock.

I know it doesn't help when someone says to get over it. Or that it was inevitable. Or that it's just a fictional character.

Grief doesn't give a shit. Emotions happen and if there was love, then there's grief.

I'm sorry you have to go through this loss. And just know that you are loved.

#I can't tell you how many people tried to empathize with my mom dying by sharing how they felt when their pet died #and though my immediate thought was those are in no way equivalent i realized maybe it is for them #i can't judge what kind of bond or love was there because I'm not them #in the end love is love and grief is grief #and it's not cool to invalidate or be dismissive because we don't understand what bond people had with Izzy or why that bond is there #so i hope we can all be kind and gentle with each other and let feelings be felt without hurting each other #ofmd #ofmd s2 #ofmd s2 spoilers #izzy hands
