Thank you for this tour de force of both writing and the intimate wordlessness of loss. It is also an unexpected gift of strength as in a few days I am marking the second anniversary of my sister’s suicide. I needed someone else saying “I can’t find a way to tell this story.” I needed that more than I knew. I will read everything you write.

Gutting, especially the scene in the car with an incomplete set of sisters.

I loved this in a very painful way. Because I like it when my feelings and experiences are brought out into the cold cruel light of day. Ouch.

Thanks for sharing your story in such a beautiful way. Raw and real, beautifully crafted and really captures the way traumatic events re-run with non linear snapshots and multiple paths of thoughts in our brains-but you weave it all together seamlessly with care and vulnerability. 👏🏼👏🏼

Lovely use of switching forms of writing to express how we feel when we’re frantically missing someone. They are never far from our thoughts, yet out of reach. Well done!
