Others begin with silence. For Lorna, childhood was never just a beginning-it was a landscape of love, loss, and everything in between. From the warmth of her grandmother's arms to the confusion of goodbye, from imaginary friends to real-life heartbreak, she grew up learning how to survive in a world that often felt too heavy for a child to understand. In a home filled with music, chaos, tenderness, and fracture lines no one spoke about, she learned early that love and pain often lived in the same room. That people could stay... and still disappear in every way that mattered. And that sometimes, the only place a child can safely hold the truth is inside their own silence. Through fading innocence, fractured family bonds, and moments of unexpected beauty, Still, She Echoes is a deeply personal memoir of growing up too soon-of witnessing life in all its raw, unfiltered complexity, and learning to piece together meaning from what was left behind. It is about the questions children ask when no one is ready to answer them. It is about the memories that don't fade, even when you wish they would. And it is about the quiet strength it takes to finally stop carrying what was never yours to hold. Because some echoes never leave you. They simply become part of who you are. ✨Please leave comments...everywhere. Im excited to connect with others.

A daughter's message

A short story I wrote when I was 16. About a women and her hate for her daughter. It's not great I wrote it and never went back to make any revision. I hope you enjoy it anyways.

A daughter's love and tribute to her aging mother. A look back to the strength of a woman that gave all. A memoir to an incredible woman she once have depended upon.

I first wrote these words on September 12, 2024...during that time, I was gaining more clarity about my own healing and recognizing that healing truly has its own timing. I was also recognizing that when something circles back to the heart more than once, to listen. So, this is not a story about death. It is a story about distance. The sacred ache between a father and a daughter who share blood... yet never fully shared knowing. In a vision, I saw myself standing at my father's homegoing. He is still very much alive. But Spirit has a way of revealing truths before the body is ready to face them. And in that moment, I understood something deeper - grief is not only about losing someone. Sometimes it is about never fully being seen by them. And in all fairness never fully seeing them either. We are father and daughter. But there are years we cannot retrieve. Conversations we never had. Parts of one another we may never truly know. This piece lives in the space between love and abandonment. Between forgiveness and unanswered questions. Between the child who wanted to be chosen and the woman who chose to heal. I do not carry anger anymore, I'm not really sure I ever truly did. But I do recognize that sometimes I still carry grief - the kind that hums quietly in the background of relationships, that kind that cast shadows in a world filled with darkness, the kind that once led me to search for my father in men who could not stay. Who could not love. And somewhere along the way, I realized... these wounds did not begin with me. They are ancestral. They are generational. They are the stories passed down from one to the next in silence. And I learned that healing could travel too. And this is me choosing to let it travel through love instead of pain. Through awareness instead of blame. Through accountability instead of avoidance. This is me breaking cycles not with force - but with consciousness. Signed, A daughter.
