all the ghosts hanging about my sad thought bubbles trying them on to see if my pain fits them it does i lose weight in grief all food tastes like grey paste i lose sleep in grief closing my eyes means seeing more grieving ghosts sometimes they are helpful other times not the one next to me now keeps cheerfully reminding me that i could die from a broken heart at any time she says the japanese have a name for it but she forgets she read it in a magazine when she was alive my heart hurts now i think its acid reflux but my helpful ghost chimes in that i am probably dying one of them starts to clap the other ghosts shake their head at him how awkward i hold my broken heart while the ghosts wander around my bedroom pretending they aren't waiting for me to die

Winston Churchill said " If you are going through Hell then keep on going". So keep on going because things will turn around. Your daughter may have left but she is not gone. Do not give up even though your daughter may have shunned you. Continue to be there for your daughter even if she does not show up today because she may just come back tomorrow. Giving up means you will be stuck in hell. Keeping on going means you will eventually get out.
