Dispossession of Her World
Mary gazed across the room, her eyes landing on the furniture and possessions that were threads in the tapestry of her life’s story. With her land being sold, it felt as though her children were erasing her presence, her history. Each item had a narrative, a shared moment, but to her children, they had become nothing more than assets to liquidate.
The Weight of Unshed Tears
With each passing moment, the reality of Mary’s situation bore down on her. It was more than sadness; it was a mourning for the life she thought she would have, surrounded by caring loved ones. Now, tears that should have been shed in moments of joy were replaced by those of grief, a relentless tide that threatened to overwhelm her resilience.
