Summary

At 52 years old, I’m facing something I’ve been dreading: the funeral of a childhood friend who recently lost her battle with pancreatic cancer. This isn’t just about saying goodbye to someone from my past—it’s about confronting the weight of loss and the reality that people from your formative years aren’t going to be around forever. What’s hitting me hardest isn’t just the sadness itself, though that’s definitely overwhelming. It’s the feeling of being completely at a loss for words. How do you sum up a lifelong friendship? How do you express grief that feels too big to articulate? I’m heading to this celebration of life knowing I’ll probably struggle to find the right things to say, and that uncertainty is adding to the heaviness I’m carrying into this.

This weekend, I did something I’ve been putting off for a while—I really sat down and watched Justin Scarred’s content, the whole catalog of it. And I have to be honest, I’ve been completely wrong about how I’ve been approaching this whole thing. For months now, I’ve been trying to understand Adam, trying to figure out what made him so special, why his loss resonated so deeply with so many people. I thought I was getting somewhere with my theories, getting closer to the truth. But watching Justin open up about losing his friend—I mean really vulnerable, raw in a way that felt completely different from anything else he’s put out there—it completely shifted my perspective.
