Come to Me
I say your name, hoping it will start the flow of words I so desperately wish to put on this page. Yet once the sound has passed my lips, there is nothing. Only an empty room. I wish to tell you of my feelings, but like the last rays of the sun, you have long since gone.

The Call I Let Ring
The phone rang while I was tying my shoes. I noticed it more out of irritation than concern. I was already late, already thinking about the day ahead. Meetings. Traffic. Things that required my full attention—or so I told myself. When I looked at the screen, the name surprised me. My father. We hadn’t spoken properly in years. Not because of a fight, not because of anger. Just distance that slowly learned how to live without effort. Occasional messages on holidays. Short calls that stayed polite and careful. Conversations that never stayed long enough to matter. The phone kept ringing. I stood there, one shoe on, one shoe off, watching the screen light up the hallway wall. I told myself he was probably calling about something ordinary. Maybe a reminder. Maybe a question he could have texted. I told myself I would call back. The ringing stopped. I finished tying my shoes and left the apartment. The morning air was sharp. The street was loud. Life moved forward without waiting for my decision to settle. On the bus, I checked my phone again. No message. No voicemail. That should have bothered me more than it did. I drafted a reply in my head while staring out the window. Sorry, I missed your call. I’ll ring you later. It felt easy enough to delay something that didn’t demand urgency. By the time I reached work, the day had swallowed my attention whole. Hours passed. Emails. Conversations. Small problems that needed immediate answers. At lunch, I thought about calling him, then decided against it. I didn’t know what I would say. I didn’t know how to begin without reopening old silences. Later, I told myself. That evening, my sister called. Her voice was different. Not rushed. Not casual. “Did Dad call you today?” she asked. “Yes,” I said. “Why?” There was a pause long enough to change the weight of the room around me. “He’s in the hospital,” she said. “He didn’t want to worry anyone. He said he just wanted to hear your voice.” I sat down without realizing it. The rest of her words blurred together—terms I half understood, timelines that felt unreal. All I could think about was the call. The way I had watched it ring while convincing myself there would be another chance. I went to see him the next morning. The room was quiet in a way that made sound feel intrusive. He looked smaller than I remembered. Older. Tired. When he saw me, his face changed—not dramatically, just enough. “You came,” he said. “I should have come sooner,” I replied. He shook his head slightly. “You’re here now.” We didn’t talk about the call. We talked about ordinary things instead. The weather. The neighbor who never fixed his gate. A television show he’d stopped watching halfway through. I waited for the moment when something important would be said. It never arrived. When I stood to leave, he reached for my hand. His grip was weak, but deliberate. “I didn’t need much,” he said. “Just a hello.” I nodded, unable to trust my voice. He passed away two days later. After the funeral, I found myself scrolling through my phone more often than usual. Old messages. Missed calls. Small records of moments that had once asked for attention. The missed call from my father was still there. I didn’t delete it. Sometimes I open my call log just to see his name. Not out of guilt exactly. More like recognition. A reminder of how easily we assume time will wait for us to feel ready. The call rang. I let it ring. And now, that sound belongs to me.

Why Some Wounds Never Fully Heal
My mother died on a Tuesday in March, three weeks after her diagnosis. Cancer moved through her body with terrifying speed, leaving no time for goodbyes, no space for preparation, no chance to say all the things I'd always assumed I'd have time to say. She was here, and then she wasn't. Everyone told me the same thing: "Time heals all wounds." They meant well. But they were wrong. Fifteen years later, I still reach for the phone to call her when something good happens. Fifteen years later, I still feel the absence like a phantom limb—a presence that's missing but somehow still aches. Fifteen years later, I'm still waiting for the day when thinking about her doesn't hurt. I've finally accepted that day isn't coming. And somehow, that acceptance has brought more peace than all the years of waiting for the pain to end. The Myth of Complete Healing We're sold a particular narrative about grief, about trauma, about loss: if you do the work, if you process it correctly, if you're strong enough, you'll heal completely. The wound will close. The pain will end. You'll be whole again. But some wounds are too deep for that kind of closure. Some losses are too profound to ever fully recover from. And pretending otherwise doesn't help—it just makes us feel like failures when we're still hurting years later. I spent the first five years after my mother's death trying to heal "correctly." I went to therapy. I joined support groups. I read books about grief. I talked about my feelings. I did everything I was supposed to do. And yet, the wound remained open. I'd have months where I felt okay, where I'd think, "Finally, I'm healing." Then something small—a song, a scent, Mother's Day—would rip everything open again, and I'd be back at square one, sobbing in parking lots and grocery stores, feeling like I'd failed at grief. "Why can't I get past this?" I asked my therapist during one particularly difficult session. "It's been five years. Shouldn't I be better by now?" She leaned forward, her eyes kind. "What if this isn't about getting past it? What if it's about learning to carry it?" The Wounds That Change Us Some experiences fundamentally alter who we are. They create a before and after in our lives so profound that we can never return to the person we were. Before my mother died, I believed the world was basically safe. I believed people I loved would be around for a long time. I believed I had control over my life in ways that made me feel secure. After she died, all those beliefs shattered. I learned that safety is an illusion. That people you need can vanish without warning. That control is a story we tell ourselves to feel less terrified of existence. These weren't lessons I could unlearn. This wasn't damage I could repair. My mother's death didn't just hurt me—it changed me at a cellular level. The wound wasn't something on me; it became part of me. I spent years trying to get back to who I was before. I'd look at old photos and barely recognize the carefree woman smiling back at me. Where had she gone? Could I ever find her again? The answer, I eventually realized, was no. And that wasn't a failure. It was just the truth.
