After the Last Embrace

Welcome to After the Last Embrace

This is not a blog about death. It’s a blog about what hurts, about what is lost without a burial, what breaks without making a sound, what we miss without permission. Here, we talk about loss—of every kind. The ones we can see and the ones we can’t, the ones that have a name and the ones no one dares to name, the ones cried in silence, carried for years, the ones that change us forever. Because losing isn’t only when someone dies; it’s when a mother who’s still alive drifts away, when a friendship fades without explanation, when a child who never lived is lost, when faith, hope, home, childhood, or even oneself disappears. And all of that also deserves space. It deserves words, company, and time—to look again, to recognize what remains, and to rebuild, step by step, whatever can be rebuilt. It deserves a patient ear that holds, without haste, the weight we sometimes don’t even know how to name.

✨ About Me

My name is Luz, and although I haven’t lived through every loss told here, I embrace them with respect, empathy, and truth. I’m not a therapist. There are no experts in grief. I’m simply someone who feels deeply. Who has cried. Who has sought comfort in words when nothing else remained.

This blog was born from a profound need — the need to accompany, to give voice to grief, to tell those who are suffering: you are not alone.

I write because I believe in the power of words. Because I know that sometimes, reading something that reflects you, can save you. Because I know that pain needs space — and here, it has one.

Each text is written from the heart. Each open letter is an embrace. Each word of encouragement is an extended hand. Here, pain isn’t judged. It’s shaped. It’s honored.

🌿 What Is “After the Last Embrace”?

After the Last Embrace is a blog about loss — not just about death, but about everything that leaves without a funeral:

• A love that is no longer here.
• A mother who stopped looking.
• A child who never arrived.
• A friendship that faded .
• The faith that cracked .
• The hope that vanished .
• Yourself, when you no longer recognize who you are.

Here, we write with our wounds. Here, we cry without shame. Here, we accompany without hurry.

🤍 What You’ll Find Here

Long texts that don’t sugarcoat pain. Open letters that embrace from afar. Words of comfort to help you see grief from another angle. A safe space to feel without judgment

🫂 This Blog Is for You If…

You’ve lost someone or something you can’t name. You feel alone in your grief. You want to read something that doesn’t demand quick healing. You seek company, not solutions. You need someone to tell you: I’ve felt it too.

💬 My Promise

Here there are no empty phrases. No quick advice. No demands. Here there is presence, steady and patient. Here there is listening that waits without interrupting, that holds your silence and your words with the same care. Here there is respect for your time, your pace, and the particular shape of your suffering.

If you are broken, this space is for you; you may arrive in pieces and be met without pressure to fix anything. If you are searching, this space is for you; you may wander, doubt, and ask questions aloud or only in your head, and still be welcomed. If you are grieving, this space is for you; whether your grief is loud or secret, recent or long-carried, it will be held with tenderness and without judgement.

I embrace you through every word.

— Luz 🤍
