Time of sorrow

A novel about two of the most powerful feelings in the world. Love and grief.

I saw the coffin disappear into the ground. I could hear the pastor continue the funeral, but I could not concentrate on what he said. The tears pressed on. I hugged the white rabbit stuffed animal close to my body. It had been her favourite. She never went anywhere without it, but now she was gone. The pain was unbearable, it was like someone had stuck their hand into my chest and ripped my heart out. As if someone, had broken every single bone in my body. My little girl, my whole world was gone. Taken from me in a split second.
