Light Sitting With You in the Dark
The house is quiet now, and the silence feels heavier than it used to. You are carrying a grief that has no simple shape, tangled with memories that do not sit still.
It is okay to mourn the parent you needed, even while you remember the one you had. The light does not ask you to fix the past or pretend the wounds were not real.
It simply sits with you in this complicated dark, holding what you cannot hold alone. There is a peace that does not depend on your feelings being resolved.
The light has never left you, not even in the moments you felt most alone. You are that light, shining even now through the cracks of a broken story.
