"I just want to feel normal again."

36 year old Arlo's wife committed suicide on July 10th, 2018. That equates to exactly 4,579,200 seconds ago on the 1st of September, 2018. Every single millisecond of that time he put off properly grieving, isolating himself in his room and only facing daylight to eat. He was sick and tired of avoiding his truth, and finally, he's deciding to start to cope. 

A 100-page journal, 20 A3 pages dedicated to each stage of grief. Every scrawled letter with infeasible emotion behind it, and by the end it will be a piece to remember. The only hard part? 

Writing it.
