After an unthinkable loss, Layla is left navigating a life she no longer recognizes-one filled with silence, memory, and the aching absence of her old life.
Grief becomes her shadow. But healing, she learns, doesn't always arrive loudly. It tiptoes in through the scent of rain, the soft rhythm of old routines, and the quiet strength of those who stay when the world unravels.
As Layla begins to reclaim her breath, she writes letters, plants seeds in a healing garden, and opens herself to the impossible beauty of life continuing. Alongside her husband Emerson, she rediscovers love not as a remedy, but as a companion to pain-and eventually, as a reason to hope again.
Tender, raw, and quietly powerful, Still Breathing is a love letter to grief and motherhood. It is a story about what remains after everything falls apart-and how, against all odds, life finds a way back in.
