When I started writing this story, I had no idea how much it would hit home.
In fact, when my daughter passed away, I wasn't sure if I would be able to finish this story. I felt like I didn't represent loss and grief as well I could have because I hadn't gone through something so heartbreaking when I started the story. I also knew how triggering it would be for me.
But after taking a break, spending time with my husband and with myself. I started a difficult task: grieving. (Which I am far from done with) I realized the importance of completing this story. I knew how it ended. And that gave me hope. Hope that some day, although the pain will still be there, I'll be able to live without breaking down, feeling guilty for moving on, and a sense of peace when I think about the future.
That's what this story means. That through grief you can find forgiveness and happiness in any form you need.
