Grief changes shape when it’s carried through a story. This piece is about a mother, a hospital room, and the unbearable truth of losing what was taken before it ever had a chance to live.
It’s not just fantasy. It’s not just a myth. It’s the reminder that even in imagined worlds, loss feels the same — sharp, heavy, impossible.
I created Ava’s Loss to honor that weight, to give space for anyone who’s ever had to whisper goodbye too soon.
If you watch, I hope you’ll feel what I felt when writing it:the silence of the room, the breaking of the vow, and the strength that rises after grief tries to end us.
