That photo of you caressing Mike's face is so beautiful -- heartbreaking -- but so beautiful. Oh that everyone could experience such fraternal love.

I lost my nana more than 20 years ago and it's still not okay. When amazing ppl are taken from us I have found that it never really heals. You have to try to distract yourself with anything you can from food to music to anything so that you're not sitting and obsessing and slowly over time you'll get used to it. You never really heal imo it's like there's this gaping hole in the middle of your living room (life) and it fills most of your vision. Over time with good distractions you'll look at that hole less and less you'll eventually develop the ability to walk thru the room and live without accidentally falling in the hole or tossing your stuff in the hole. You eventually will be able to walk thru that room with your eyes closed and not fall in the hole but it's always there. We never really get good with it. Though over time in order to honor their memory and how much they affected us you will find ways to keep him alive and that will start to feel good. To go to places they took you to fight for what they believed in to telling stories about how they affected your life. At that time you may occasionally focus on how lucky you were to have him for as long as you did rather than how messed up it is that he was taken away. It hurts so much because they were so amazing. Imagine if you never had the chance to meet someone like him? how much poorer would your life and heart have been? We were lucky to have him for the time we had him. It's just a little change in perspective and it can help alot. I really hope you read this and find it helpful. You can also try talking to him directly It help to make him feel still here. I find lighting candles in their honor to be very helpful for me. Love you Leah and Praying for you

Praying for you, Leah, and for all of Mike's loved ones, as you navigate life with grief and without beloved Mike. Be patient with yourself and know that your life's purpose, which is forever connected to Mike, continues and will be waiting for you to fulfill when you're able. Even death can't take the fight God's put in you to pursue Truth and Justice. You are loved right where you're at. Blessings to you today and always.

After watching your program, I fell in love with both you and Mike. I identified with you as I was involved in a human potential program that thank goodness was very different from yours. You and Mike displayed such courage to bring the truth to light and to save others. I was so inspired. I have donated to Mike's fund. I am glad you have honored him. I hope you begin to heal a bit and get back out there. Enjoy life Leah! You deserve it!

It just hurts my heart. Even though I did not know him personally, I felt as though I did and I know your pain. 💔. Grieve as long as you need to and just know that, although the pain does lessen at some point, your heart never really stops hurting. Thank goodness for it, as it keeps their memory alive in those of us left behind in grief. Carry on. When you can.

Leah, you have inspired a lot of people. Without you and the Aftermath show, I wouldn't have known of the gross and sustained abuseses in Scientology. What is sickening is how they abuse their flock. Losing someone you love isn't easy. Be kind to yourself. This isn't selfish or self pity, it's allowing you to regain your strength to fight on, and you will. Mike, made the world better. ❤️‍🩹
