“There’s a big hole in my chest,” Lynn Forbes
Lynn Forbes expressed herself in a lengthy note shared on Instagram, 6 months after the passing of her son, Kiernan Jarryd Forbes, famously known as AKA,
Glammy says her big heart now has a big hole and she’s been learning to live with grief.
“I’ve always believed that my heart was big and spacious with many rooms, to accommodate many people. These days I often feel like where my heart used to be there is just a big hole in my chest, without space even for myself. Grief is not something you get over, it never ends. You just learn to live with it and grow around it. And in the moments when it feels like the band-aid is being ripped off the healing wound, you start all over again … until the next time and the next time and the next time …”
Lynn confidently states that she is not okay and she’s cool with it as she’s not trying to be a strong woman.
“In the meantime, I’m ok with not being ok, not being a strong woman and ok leaning on those who allow me to grief on my own terms, while holding my hand and quietly walking beside me as I find my way.”
“I accept that grief is an element of who I am now, that it has altered my entire being forever and that I don’t have to get to the other side of it.”
Followers who read her note send her tons of love.
