Lookback: 6 years after meeting

“met someone I loved after they passed away”

I met my best friend at the cemetery, learning of her passing 4 days prior, feeling isolated in a foreign country

What I wish I knew
"I wish I had known she was struggling"
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't underestimate the power of human connection"
