Half of my World : Relearning Life after Losing a Parent
Overview
Half of My World is a deeply personal memoir about what happens when you lose someone who was woven into the foundation of your life.
Losing a parent is not simply losing a person. It is losing a witness to your childhood, a familiar voice, a sense of home, future conversations, celebrations you imagined sharing, and a version of yourself that existed while they were still here.
The story begins with life before the loss. Childhood memories. Ordinary moments that did not seem important at the time. Conversations, traditions, disagreements, laughter, and the small details that become priceless only after someone is gone.
Then everything changes.
There is life before loss and life after it.
Grief enters quietly and loudly. It appears on birthdays, during achievements, in photographs, familiar places, songs, food, and moments when your first instinct is still to call the person who is no longer there.
But Half of My World is not only a story about losing someone.
It is a story about learning how to live when someone you love cannot come with you into the next chapter.
It is about growing older while carrying memories of someone who never got to see every version of you. It is about reaching milestones with happiness in one hand and grief in the other.
As I enter my thirties, I am learning that healing does not mean forgetting. Moving forward does not mean leaving someone behind.
Sometimes the people we lose continue living through the values they gave us, the memories they left us, the choices we make, and the person we become.
I thought I had lost half of my world.
Maybe I did.
But pieces of that world still live inside me.
