Lila.I have not been sleeping well in the past few days since my mother's passing. The nights seemed longer than normal. The night stretched on, heavy and suffocating, and I couldn’t escape the feeling that I was drowning. Tomorrow was the funeral.

I had spent hours in silence, trying to wrap my head around the fact that she was really gone, but the grief was too overwhelming. It was like a storm inside me, swirling and tearing at everything I thought I knew. I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t face the world, not tomorrow, not ever.Every time I slept, it felt like I was dreaming and it was all a bad dream, but then every moment I woke up, it hit me, she was really gone.
