In the pages of this book, I have laid bare my soul, each word a fragment of a life shattered by grief, yet pieced together with the thread of love. This collection is born from the darkest corners of my heart, where time stood still, and I was lost in the unrelenting nightmare of losing my daughter. Every poem is a testament to the pain that consumed me, the depression that clung to my spirit like a shadow, and the struggle to find meaning in a world that had suddenly become unrecognizable. In those first days, weeks, and months, I felt like a ghost in my own life, wandering through a haze of sorrow with no end in sight. My grief was a storm, and I was drowning in it. But even in the midst of this despair, there were moments, small, fleeting moments, where a glimmer of light would break through. It was in the memory of her smile, in the echoes of her laughter, and in the unconditional love that remains even when a person is gone. This book is not just a collection of poems; it is a raw, unfiltered journey through the depths of a mother's grief and her gradual emergence into a new reality one where the light at the end of the tunnel may be dim, but it is there, guiding me forward. These pages hold my tears, my anger, my despair, but also my hope-hope that the love I have lost is not truly lost, but transformed into something that will carry me through the rest of my days. To those who find themselves in the midst of their own nightmare, may these words remind you that you are not alone. And to my daughter, whose memory is woven into every line, this book is for you. Though you are gone from this world, you are forever alive in me.
