The Fit

After losing her mother to a stroke and herself to grief, a woman finds her once-familiar body now a stranger in the mirror. The jeans that used to slip on without effort now taunt her from the closet floor. Haunted by softness she didn't have before and the silence of a life paused, she spirals into shame and self-isolation-until a quiet unraveling forces her to reckon with who she is now. The Fit is a raw, intimate story about body image, identity, and learning to take up space again after loss. Inspired by real emotional truths, this story explores how healing doesn't always come with a transformation-but sometimes with a truce.
