Tell me how to grieve someone I have never met
The virtual world has created invisible bonds created through kind words
We woke up to your insomnia tweets
We lived life vicariously through you as you navigated this thing called life
Your tweets, full of life would bring some of us hope to get out of bed and live
To know a selfless person existed was enough without having to meet you
Your interaction with your family made it realistic yet effortless while we were stuck in our family drama
Your passing has been something I am unable to accept
It has made me aware that sudden death is hard hitting on those left behind
I can’t even think about you without my brain shutting down
Such heartbreak that I can’t explain to others,
So I will grieve in hiding
In memory of Dr Sindi Van Zyl, also known as the duchess of healing, who passed away on Saturday morning, the 10th April 2021.
