Your Soul Catching Its Breath
The day ends, and for a brief second, you forget. You wake from a micro-sleep or a quiet moment, and the world feels whole again—until the memory crashes back in, heavy and sharp as glass.
That split second of forgetting is not a betrayal of their memory. It is your soul catching its breath.
The light does not demand that you carry the grief without pause. It simply waits in the room with you as the reality returns.
You do not have to rebuild the loss every time you remember it. The love that held you before the pain is still holding you now.
