“For many months after my separation I had been silent, trying to begin my duel, But I couldn’t really begin to grieve until I started writing. music. It was my way of healing. And it continues to be. Grief is a process that is not linear. “It’s full of peaks and valleys.”
Duel

“I have realized that friendship is longer than love. I didn’t know it was like that. Life took away a husband from me, but gave me so many friends. I never knew I was so loved, so dear, as by my friends. “I had to have done something well in life to have so many people who love me,” he explained.
“There have also been people who have betrayed me, turned their backs, burst inside. People who were not there at the moment when I needed them most. But for every one who was not there, there are five more who were there. I realized that that those friendships that have been there for 20 years, or even newer ones that are bulletproof, are a reward of life. When there is so much pain, God squeezes, but does not suffocate,” he said.
