I find myself on the shore, my form outlined against a brooding sky heavy with storm clouds. Tears stream down my face uncontrollably, mingling with the salty spray of the sea. I try to scream, to release the anguish tearing through me, but my cries are lost in the roar of the crashing waves.

Each breath feels like a struggle, as if the weight of my grief is crushing my chest, leaving me gasping for air. Behind me, the ocean roars, waves crashing relentlessly against the shore, mirroring the tumult of my emotions. Each wave feels like a surge of pain, threatening to engulf me in its powerful grasp. Yet, here I am, at the place my father loved most—the sea, his refuge and sanctuary and provider. In this sacred space, I confront the enormity of my grief, grappling with the shattered fragments of my world.

This shore holds so many memories of my father teaching us to fish, providing for us with his love for the sea.
