Somewhere Between Breathing and Goodbye

Eldest daughter
Recently lost her father
Forced to grow up too early
Independent, but emotionally alone
Everyone sees her as strong, but she's barely surviving

She's the eldest daughter. She lost her father suddenly. Overnight, the world expected her to be strong for her mother, her younger brother, for everyone-but inside, she's breaking.
She grew up too fast, forced to hold the pieces of a family falling apart, hiding the chaos inside her chest behind a composed smile. No one sees the nights she lies awake, screaming silently into the dark. No one knows the grief that makes her stomach turn, the guilt that chains her heart, or the moments she tried to let go of it all.
Everyone sees strength. They see independence. They see a girl who's barely surviving-but no one sees the truth: a girl alone, haunted by the father she can't save, a sister trying to keep her brother afloat, a daughter who's learning that some goodbyes never end.

Somewhere Between Breathing and Goodbye is a story about grief, silence, and survival. It's about the kind of pain that makes your chest ache and your hands shake. The kind that forces you to grow up too soon-and yet, somehow, keeps you fighting just to stay alive.
