The driver got out to open the doors but Jamie held up a hand and the man stayed where he was. We sat in the parked car in the dark. "I didn't know what to do," he said finally. "After the miscarriage. I know that's not an excuse. But I genuinely didn't know how to—" His voice was doing something strange, controlled on the surface with something pressurized underneath. "I shut down. I know I did. I didn't know how to hold that kind of grief so I just. Didn't." "You went back to work three days later," I said. Not accusatory. Just a fact that had lived in my chest for years and finally had somewhere to go.

My chest clenched remembering Stefan’s lifeless body amidst the several other dead bodies of our families. My soul shuddered. It was as if my soul itself could not bear the weight of the immense tragedy that unfolded before my eyes. The loss I experienced went beyond just losing my family; it extended to the very essence of who I was as an individual. Gone were the dreams and aspirations that had once fueled my every step, replaced now by an overwhelming sense of despair and hopelessness.

Grace Someone once told me, you can never truly feel the pain of losing someone you have never met. Even if that person is a parent, even if they are blood, if they died before you were born, the grief will never be the same as losing someone you laughed with, spoke to, or held. It isn’t cruel. It’s just how emotions work. You might feel sympathy. You might feel anger on their behalf. You might even feel sadness for what they went through. But you might not feel that deep, hollow pain.

" When I did not respond, she passed the phone to Tina. "Dad, where are you? I miss your fish. I can't sleep at night at all. Come back and tell me stories like before. Hold me until I fall asleep. Dad, I miss you." Hearing their voices, I felt nothing. "SSerene, this will be our last call. Don't contact me again. I don't need you to handle my funeral arrangements, and I don't need you to pray for me after my death either. I'll be forgetting both of you completely."

It is like walking up the stairs to your bedroom in the dark and thinking there is one more stair than there is. When someone you love dies, and you're not expecting it, you don't lose them all at once; you lose them in pieces over a long time, the way the mail stops coming, and their scent fades from the pillows and even from the clothes in the closet and drawers. Gradually, you accumulate the parts of them that are gone. Just when the day comes, when there's a particular missing part that overwhelms you with the feeling that they are gone, forever, there comes another day and another specifically missing part. This has made me realize once again how precious life is. It has made me realize

I pick up quickly. "Hello Sharon" Her voice trembling. "Mum, what is it." I sat up straight—my breathing becoming frantic. She was the one thing I cared about the most in the world. She had been my rock, sometimes I'd call her tired and in the verge of giving up, she'd strengthen me and remind me—I could do it. "Your dad. He.... the car. she sniffled—choking a sob "he had an accident" "The car summersaulted, it's completely damaged. Sharon it's gone"

Now, he was gone, leaving behind an emptiness that felt as vast as the ocean. Desire's eyes were red and puffy from crying, and she could still hear the whispers of the adults who had gathered for the funeral. They spoke in hushed tones, their faces drawn and somber, but all she could think about was how her father would never again lift her onto his shoulders or read her bedtime stories. The ache in her chest was a constant reminder of the love she had lost.

This park, once a sanctuary of laughter and love, now seemed to echo with fading whispers of a distant past. It had been five years since Sarah had experienced true happiness, five years since she had felt the warmth of a loving embrace. Her world had turned gray the day her husband, Daniel, had passed away, leaving her to navigate the depths of grief alone. Since then, she had been caught in a perpetual cycle of sadness and isolation, the echoes of love growing fainter with each passing day.

My heart burns with anger and hatred, but it's no match for the crushing grief that threatens to destroy me. I weep, my body shaking with sobs. My hair falls around my face, a constant reminder of my mother's love, now lost forever. I remember her gentle touch, braiding my hair with love and care.
