I am writing this post in memory of Ashley Leia whose family shared the above post on her blog and which I have just found out. I don’t even know what to say, because I feel utterly shocked and can’t think, but I really wanted to mention this on here because not only was she a great and very competent blogger in her niche of mental health, but also was a regular on My Inner MishMash and a two times (that is every single time, so far) MIMRA winner.
Ashley had been MIA for several weeks, which I had a very bad feeling about, so finally wrote to her a few days ago. Turns out I was way too late…
I can’t imagine what her family must be going through.
I hope you are at peace, Ashley… I miss you and will be praying for you a lot.

She’ll always be a two-time MIMRA winner in my book! ❤ ❤ ❤

I’ve been feeling like crying all the time but can’t actually cry. Wish I could. She’s already missed so much.

Everyone grieves in their own way, and that includes being unable to cry. Sometimes that happens because the grief is so strong, the brain uses numbness. I remember being unable to cry when relatives died. Please be kind to yourself 💌💌💌🫂🫂🫂

Yeah, for me it’s quite typical that I can’t cry when I’m very sad, even if I really feel like it and feel it could help me a lot. I’m used to it often being this way but wish I could just let it out.
