Birthdays They Will Not Have

10 min

A birthday approaches for someone who is no longer here, carrying the painful age they would have reached. The imagined years, unlit candles and quiet arithmetic of grief are held without needing to be resolved. A gentle way to meet the date with tenderness, allowing remembrance to take whatever shape it needs.
