“Loss is a blurry thing. A thing that is clearly there but without edges. It is like staring into the sun for too long and then for sometime after there is a big white circle in all of your views. It shimmers and you don’t know how long it’ll stay. You know it is there and you know it’ll change but for now it is there. You can keep pointing at it and shouting but it stays for a while. You can’t look at anything else when that happens. Everything has a hole in it.”
