How do you mourn the loss of a loved one?
You eat their favourite food. You listen to their favourite songs. You isolate yourself in the company of your memories, careful not to loose a single detail of their existence.
Sorrow weighs heavy on the heart. Time feels impenetrable, as if it is impossible to overcome.
And then one day a window opens, like a small crack letting the outside world enter your universe. Once again.
This is life. Full of continuous curves, and emotions that give them colour.
