The Shape of What Remains

@Mikiesboy has given us an exceptional story of loss, grief, and finding one's way. Every journey through grief is different and this one shows us unabashedly the raw emotions that can come along for the ride. We know how hard it is for those left behind and tim has also shown us that it can be hard for those who left us too.

Excellent job, my friend. xoxo 

A wonderful story of love lost and love found.  We walk with Lonnie as he picks his way over the stony, uneven path of grief and loss. It's a journey always taken alone, no matter how many people are beside you. 

I recommend this story. 

This is a bittersweet story about letting go, moving on, and the messy process that goes with it. It's about plans, suddenly and irrevocably upended, and about the struggle to adapt to a new way of living and loving. It's about what life becomes for someone left behind.

It's a good story, and it deserves a read.

So, sit down. Grab a coffee or a beer. And treat yourself to a journey you won't regret taking.

@Mikiesboy brings a deeply intimate and personal story about grieving the loss of a life partner. There’s no universal formula for healing - no simple way to make the pain disappear or to move on quickly. We often hear about the stages of grief: shock, denial, anger...but they’re not linear, and they’re different for everyone. There’s no real timeline either; grief can last months or years and still return in waves.

What makes this story stand out is that @Mikiesboy doesn’t judge Loonie’s choices or try to offer lessons on what should have been done differently. Instead, it simply gives us a glimpse into Loonie’s life and pain. It quietly says, “I see you. I understand. You’re not alone.”

And sometimes, that’s not just enough - it’s the only thing that truly helps.

@Mikiesboy has given us a wonderful story, that will make us stop and think.

A truly amazing story of love, lost and found.

We join Lonnie as he stumbles through loss, grief and the many emotions that it left behind.

Loss is never an easy for those left behind and tim has shown us that it's never easy for those we lost.

Give it a read, you will not be disappointed. Highly recommended.

An excellent story showing one person's progress after the unexpected loss of a partner.  Well written and thoughtful, also showing that every person's thoughts and reactions to grief are different.  I heartily recommend this story.
