How do you cope?
The silence is the loudest thing in the world.
You spend years getting used to the click of nails on hardwood, the heavy sighs from the rug, and the gentle rhythm of a heartbeat against your side.
Then, one day, the house stays still.
And you realize how much of your own strength was actually borrowed from them.
It’s the absence that hits the hardest.
How do you cope with the silence after your best friend is gone?
