The day Dad died, the world didn’t end—but the birds forgot how to sing. His empty chair echoed louder than thunder. I reached for his voice in dreams, only to wake with nothing but shadows. Grief isn’t loud. It’s the silence that follows love, and never quite leaves.

Simply beautiful
Beautiful.
Beautiful, touching work indeed. Same is true for mothers (in my case, more so.)
Really lovely…and so true. Very perceptive.
Last line is breathtaking.
Very poignant. The silence is the hardest part of losing a loved one. Well done!
Love this. Grief is so hard to express, but you’ve done it beautifully. It resonates.
