Final update
7 June 2026This page closes tomorrow and I want to do a final post. I am not sure what to say, because the reality is, living without Magnus is the worst thing in the world.
I'll begin with my focus on you. On the fact that you cared for us during the difficult time of his diagnosis and treatment and final days. You gave us so much kindness and support in many different ways. Your tears and pain you shared with us when our beautiful boy passed, and that you still share with us, is somehow providing comfort.
How are we today? We learned that grief is irrational, raw and timeless. Time is not linear anymore and we seem to live in two worlds between which we constantly navigate. The world with Magnus in it. And the world without him. Our love for Magnus can never be expressed physically anymore. The little person we could hug and cuddle and dote on is physically gone. We miss his cuddles and his humor so much. We miss everything about him. Our love for him continues to grow, and so does the pain caused by his absence. Somehow we get through each day. Some days are excruciating hard, some are mixed and some add to happy memories.
Aurora misses him. She seeks out older children to play with, tries to get a reaction when she sees him in a photo and imitates some things he had shown her. We will keep his memory alive with her, she will know how much he loved his "most beautiful sister in the world".
Thank you for seeing us. We wish all of you the best in the world
Arohanui
Magnus' family.
