"If I do not write my grief, I deny a part of my soul.
And what is a writer, if not someone who lives openly—through every storm, every silence, every fragile truth?"

These words came to me in a moment of stillness—a moment when the ache of loss had no shape, only weight.
I recently lost my mother… and with her, a part of me went silent.

It’s strange how the world continues spinning.
Messages still come. Notifications still blink.
But inside, something just stops.

I’ve always believed that words are not just stories—they’re a kind of healing.
A quiet form of survival. A bridge between the heart and the universe.
So even now, as I tremble inside, I write.

Not for sympathy.
Not for attention.
But because writing is how I breathe through pain.

My mother’s absence is a silence I will carry in every chapter I write from here on.
She wasn’t just my mother—she was my listener, my protector, my grounding energy.

As a writer, I’ve shared love stories, soul journeys, karmic bonds…
But today, I share a raw truth.
Grief is not always loud. Sometimes, it is a gentle folding in of the self.

To all those who’ve lost someone and kept walking, even quietly—I see you.
To those who use art, words, or silence to cope—I stand with you.

This isn’t just a post. It’s my way of lighting a diya in the digital world.
For her. For healing. For continuing.
And for all those who feel alone in their grief, may these words be a soft presence beside you.
