You have so viscerally captured to me what I understand of my brother's own experience of suffering - that it became something unrelenting that he could not see a way out from. It is a deeply compassionate and insightful perspective and one that I think you can only understand if you have been close to it... and i can hear in this that you are, but that you are also overcoming and persisting. I'm sorry for the struggle, the pain, the grief, the tears, but have enormous gratitude and respect that you are finding words to call out, to reach beyond it, to give us something true to grasp onto. You're awesome Kate, love you heaps x
Public comments don't do justice to this conversation e hoa, (and I'm glad we've been able to discuss it over Whatsapp), but I just send so much love to you in your journey, and I'm grateful it is intertwining, in so many ways, with mine. x
Thank you for sharing, Kate! Definitely got me thinking. Glad to hear you are able to start to re-engage. Are you around on Sunday afternoon? We are headed up to Waikanae. I thought I might bring by some of the curry I mentioned a while back if you'd be around. xx

Yes I think so! Let's chat xx
Life’s a beautiful process. I, for one, admire the gentleness and self insights you have with yourself. Kia tino kaha e hoa.
Kate, happy birthday for last week. You have been in my thoughts so much, e hoa.
Your writing is so beautiful.
Mohamed and yourself must come again to lunch before too long
