All We Left Unsaid

by Natalie K. Martin

They say the death of a loved one can make time feel like it’s stopped. It isn’t true. Since Finn called, the world outside has continued to turn. It doesn’t make sense to me that I’ve spent the day doing normal stuff, going to work, stopping at the supermarket on the way home, ordering takeaway . . . and all while my sister had been dead. If only the world would stop, I might be able to catch my breath and make sense of it all.

This is how I always feel whenever a loved one passes. I just wish that the world would stop and acknowledge my loved one’s death. But time just moves forward as if nothing significant happened. 😔

The role of caretaker

That’s exactly what Jess is. Finn correctly tells her that she’s a caretaker.
