I quietly wept at the back before I eventually stood before the pile of clothes on the floor and grabbed his favourite shoes – a pair of grey Crocs he wore on the morning to the hospital.That it will come at you quickly or sometimes it will just hang around in the background of your life.One of my friends who lost her mother compared her loss to losing her grounding point – and over the past months, I can say she is right.
Navigating a major loss while the world equally expects you to show up, to be okay, that life has to go on while you are stuck in a ball of emotions, has been the difficult part.
