The quiet sound of families breaking. Content Warning. AI-Generated.

There is a kind of silence that is louder than any noise. It is the silence of a child waking in the night and realizing their parent is gone. It is the silence of a kitchen table with one chair suddenly empty. It is the silence of a home that still looks the same, but no longer feels the same. Across the United States, thousands of families live inside that silence. Not because of war. Not because of disaster. Not because of death. But because of policy.
