six days

"When a mother dies, the whole garden dies." Just one of those metaphors I stumbled upon trying to find the right words for an obituary I wasn't ready to write. On June 18th, 2020 my mother passed away at the age of 66. A sentence that still sounds surreal. Just like the situation we suddenly found ourselves in. In the end I found my own words for the obituary. And later pictures that carry the pain that has accompanied me ever since.
