“You are afflicted by emptiness, my love. Emptiness where Asaf and Hani once were. But if you write about them, you will fill in the empty space with their beating hearts. You will be together again. Souls live on in stories…” ~Nomi Eve, The Henna House
It sounds like it is ready to be written. Don't forget you can just write the thing, and then decide what to do with it later... Perhaps writing it will give it a shape that you feel you can share, or perhaps writing it will mean there is then room for something else.
Thank you for this. I know in my heart of hearts that I just need to write the thing to give room for whatever lies beyond. But somehow, hearing you say it, is permission! :)
Thanks for sharing this. I certainly relate to your fears about writing. Your aunt and uncle sound like wonderful people whose stories need to be told. I'm sure you will do it beautifully.
A flow-y read that danced lightly in my head and reminded me of my own writing journey. Similar to your own, quite relatable. I wish you the bravery and courage to continue on our journey, to plumb the depths of both your joys and sorrows for strong and effective pieces.
Easier said than done, I know. I'm working on the same.
Yes, that story needs to be told! You are already telling it and can keep going. I'll be here and listening. x

Can totally relate, sometimes the stories we want to write the most sure take their sweet time coming to the page.

Thank you for your kind words. It is a comfort to know we are not on this journey alone.
