I think it's more than simply wanting our pain to be noticed. It's more like, 'the desire to be cared for.'

When we're in pain, and we get a befitting response to that pain, it makes us feel safe, seen, and most importantly, that we matter.

It's the love, care and attention that comes with it

I really love this piece. Is raw and shows vulnerability. Great strength my friend.

And I'm sorry for your loss. Hope you continue to stay strong.
