Taking a deep breath
She held it until he lungs hurt
Letting the air explode from her lungs
But ended in a sigh
She had to do this
There was no choice
Even knowing this didn’t help her move her leaden feet
Her free hand clung tightly to her black dress
Her other hand trembled uncontrolled as she clutched the card she made
She closed her eyes
Forcing her tears back
As she walked through the door
And signed the guest book
“With deepest sympathy, I will always love you my friend.”

This hit me so hard. I just had to endure my mom’s one-year anniversary of her death a couple weeks ago and I still feel like it never happened when I wake up each morning.
