The Reason ;


Welcome to Waves of Goodbye

I never planned to start a blog about grief.

Then my dad died, and suddenly I needed somewhere for all the pain to go. Somewhere I could scream without sound. Somewhere I could make sense of a world that kept spinning when mine stopped.

This space is for him, my dad, my captain, my anchor, my hero, my best friend ... and for anyone who’s ever lost someone they can’t imagine living without. It’s for the ones trying to survive the days that don’t feel survivable. For the daughters who wake up and realize they aren’t anyone’s daughter anymore.
These are my waves, crashing, calm, and everything in between.

This is my goodbye, over and over again.

My dad. My heart. My life. 

Every wave, every word, carries a part of him back to me.
