Oh Robina. I am so sorry for your loss. For Wren’s enormous loss.

Taylor’s memory is a blessing. May all that loved them be comforted by the warmth and beauty of their memory.

What an absolutely impossible thing. I feel awe and horror as the love pours out of my screen and these words as I read them. Thinking of you all.

So much love in these poems, thank you for sharing them to the world. My heart breaks even more to learn that Taylor was a triplet. I cannot imagine losing my own triplets siblings.

Thank you for articulating all of this... for colliding worlds and offering us the beauty and heartache from each. You are a gift to those around you. Your daughter, her first love.... and onward.

My heart breaks, such a young and brilliant person gone too soon and so much grief left in their wake. I can feel their brilliance in your daughter’s poetry. Hoping they feel the glimmers of their energy everywhere around them ❤️

I am so sorry for your family’s loss. This was deeply touching. I first read your stories on Instagram and am deeply touched by your words. Sending care.

Oh, I am so, so sorry that your daughter has experienced such an immense loss. It's not the same, but nearly 2 years ago, my son lost his best friend (also 19) and holding the depth of that pain and grief was so unlike anything I could have imagined. Just as you said--nothing could have prepared me for it. Support people need support, too, and I hope your community is there to lift you as you lift Wren. Peace and love for Taylor. 💗

Oh, Robina, I am so sorry. My heart absolutely aches for Wren and for you. What an absolutely beautiful tribute Wren’s words are. I wish the circumstances under which we were blessed to read them were different.

Devastating. I have no other words, but Wren's were beautiful.

Sending a big hug to you, Wren, and Taylor’s family. My sister who I raised’s best friend died in 2020 in an accident at 19, and watching her go through that grief was heart wrenching. I will never forget her phone call to me at 1 AM screaming. Grief that is shared is easier than grief borne alone. She remembers him fondly now and we have photos of him in our home. It never fully goes away, and the pain begs to be felt while it is here. Sending you healing and strength as you go through the grieving process.

Oh heart, oh heart. Robina I am so sorry for you and Wren and anyone who love(d) this dear soul. Walking through the ravages of grief with a child is so harrowing. I am sending love and all of my support your way.
