Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• There’s no obituary, no photos passed around, no trace anywhere that this mattered
• Everyone’s gone quiet about them, like saying their name would upset me, so I never get to hear other people’s memories
• I don’t want them to just be gone
• I can’t even put words to why this is hitting me so hard
• So much of who I was lived in being their wife, their caregiver, the one they called
