Loss in The C Word

I’ve always felt a bit trite saying ‘sorry for your loss’ but now I realise, it’s perfect really.

It is a loss, a loss so deep, it’s a void that will never be filled. Her death is a massive loss, and it’s felt in all the little moments. The empty seat around the dinner table, the things the kids do that she’d love to hear about, the moments you pick your phone up to tell her about it and catch yourself.
