I don’t know Richard but his experiences with grief are breaking my heart and showing me a whole new world I didn’t know. Absolutely sending love despite not knowing anyone involved
He’s not been dead a fortnight and already I’m having to think hard about the ways he stopped me being the worst version of me.
