What a heartbreaking story, @gyrag. The narrator has experienced a deep and painful loss. We learn in the story that it is almost too much to bear, and yet when her mother shares her story of loss, she begins to see things differently, and to accept the loss and find her way again. Nicely told! Thanks for sharing your story in The Ink Well.
