Survivor’s Remorse 🤍

Summer 2020 vs. Summer 2024

When DeAndree was murdered in July of 2020, I felt immense and persistent survivor’s remorse. I felt helpless and powerless. Although we were separated at the time of his death, I felt I wasn’t whole without him.

While he was resting peacefully and still is, I had to continue living when I didn’t want to. When it ached the worst. When the pain was the most unbearable and unimaginable.

I am here to assure you that God is a comforter. I thank God for His mercy, love, strength, and support.

For my fellow grief warriors, I hear you. I see you. I am you.

“I was blinded by survivor’s remorse,
I was supposed to build.

…Still solid, still here.”

True friends are angels here on Earth. 🤍

Zac, Roxanne, my love, my neighbor, my apartment husband; our lives intertwined at such a pivotal time for us both. We were individually rebuilding the very broken pieces of our lives. Grieving the loss of our marriages in different yet similar ways.

It is one of the greatest privileges and honor of my life to call you my friend. I will always be grateful that our paths crossed. A friend you have in me, until the end, then beyond.

Cheers to us creating a masterpiece with those broken pieces, together!  I love you. I see you.

Chris, Michael, Todd, and Anthony, thank you so very much for welcoming me into your circle and in your life. Thank you for being kind in a world that hasn’t always been kind to you.

I look forward to building beautiful friendships with you all. I genuinely feel loved, heard, and seen. I hope you do too. I love you.

House of Scissors told a story.

It is a story of love, hate, gain, loss, advocacy, activism, acceptance, and rejection.

Proud is an understatement, Roxanne and Avery. You both exemplify love, compassion, service, and advocacy.

Two of the sweetest souls I’ve had the privilege of being in the presence of.

Thank you for being kind in a world that hasn’t always been the kindest to you.

From all of us, thank you.

You both hold the crown, always. 👑

I love you.

Asia, my sister, my twin, my love,

You mean everything to me. ❤️

I thank God for reuniting us. Thank you for forgiving me. In high school, I didn’t know how to be a friend to you. I was lost. Trial and error, right? I’m ready now!

Thank you with everything in me for accepting me back into your life. Cheers to us rekindling our best friendship! 🫂

I love you deeply. 🤍

Sonique

P.s.: I love you Mikey. Happy Birthday! 🤍🕊🥳
