Told through a narrative poem, Tasha hand-painted her watercolor illustrations to depict the quiet part of grief from the unbearable loss of a parent. The confusion and the heaviness, which are often hard to express in proper words, are something that keeps us awake at night in tears or even when we are among familiar crowds. Written for all ages, her fictional story aims to help kids and adults who are facing profound sorrow and looking for comfort in their darkest times. It explores how we allow ourselves to process this pain honestly, at our own pace and on our own terms, without outside pressure or pretense. It highlights a genuine friendship and empathy that help us learn to accommodate grief. Ultimately, it’s about rediscovering the love that continues and igniting a glimmer of hope that healing is possible after loss. So, we can regain our strength to carry on despite the tears, despite the pain.

“Our losses force us to go through harsh terrain.
Despite the rough grounds, here, our love remains.
Though your tears may never dry,
In time, pray your inner peace crystallize
And relieve you of pain...”
