Sinking, this heavy weight in my chest
Its pulse all I can feel in the room
Like a child, I am alone again
Echoes of who we could be across an empty table
No questions answered, bids ignored
Ceaselessly wondering which words could be enough
Enough to break this silence

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.

“Echoes of who we could be across an empty table” a wonderful line in the middle of this Hannah. It’s poignant and feels heavy with the silence.
Gabriel highlighted this piece on the Raise Your Voice thread. Well done on a very poignant acrostic. I've subscribed to you now.
Relatable. Nice entry.
Very impactful!
This is so eerily poignant- the sadness and stillness are both so tangible. Beautiful work, thank you for sharing this excellent take on the challenge! :)
An emotional read.
