Imagine if you had to find out who you were, where you were, and what your purpose was, and then try to live a normal life, despite not even knowing your own name.

The Painting
"It took me five seconds to fall. The impact on my chest jarring my body but not my mind. I suppose this is the point where your life is supposed to flash before your eyes as time itself freezes - and it did in a way. But I didn't relive my life physically like walking through an old memory, déjà vu in each step. It was a feeling, something that started in my chest and spread to my fingertips, one so unique to me that it encapsulated each significant event into one single second." For as long as May can remember one mystery has haunted her world. A dirty window before her, the grim obstructing her vision, she has lived with a loss she can't identify - that is until one rainy night. Gradually the spots of dirt May scratched at for so long wipe away with the touch of a finger. But when she looks in will she like what she sees - or will curiosity kill the cat?Complete
In Her Memory: A Yearlong Journey Through Grief
How do you hold on to someone who is no longer there? Grief does not move in a straight line. It lingers in quiet mornings, in the scent of an old sweater, in songs left unfinished. In Her Memory is a lyrical grief memoir-an intimate chronicle of love, loss, and the slow art of healing. Told through tender yet unflinching reflections, this book captures the weight of absence and the quiet resilience that follows. For those who have ever loved and lost, this is a space to grieve, to remember, and, perhaps, to heal.
