This is so gross. I write to my recently deceased person, or talk to him, but as much as I wish he could talk back I would never want an AI bot to attempt to replicate him. He would be horrified by the idea, too.

AI tech is just vultures circling.

I am so very sorry for your loss, for all the pain and struggle of these past years, for the suffering he and everyone who loved him went through. It shouldn’t have to be this way.

You’ve been so kind to me through my own recent loss; if there’s any help I can give, please ask.

Maybe it’s just me but I like my Christmas music best when it sounds haunted. Carol of the Bells, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, Coventry Carol…

I’m pretty sure I had blocked those from my memory. But now they’re back. Thanks.

Possibly* the worst Christmas song ever written. Mary probably would’ve at least laughed at Dominick the Donkey and the Hippopotamus song.

*the one about the shoes also pisses me off for other reasons.

Do you happen to have an East of the Sun, West of the Moon (or Cupid & Psyche) retelling? Admittedly there’s some crossover there with B&tB and Snow Queen, but it will forever be my favorite classic fairy tale.

I’m missing my best friend, too. I don’t understand how grief can be both so heavy and so hollow feeling at the same time.

Sending you hugs, from one grieving heart to another.
