Slow Goodbye

17 min

Some goodbyes unfold over months or years, returning in empty chairs, familiar songs and the reach for a second mug. Grief moves between absence and ordinary life, with no schedule and no demand for closure. What remains can be carried forward as a continuing bond, held differently but still present.
