A story of love, grief, and the silence in between
What if the hardest part of death is not the end, but the waiting?
When a young girl observes her beloved aunt fade away, she is forced to confront most crushing certainty of life. Hospitals are turned into halls of half-spoken facts, silence is heavier than words, and grief overpowers.
This is not a story of cataclysmic tragedy, but one of slow, agonizing farewell, of how love dances on the thin edge between being and not being. With each visit, every rattling breath, she learns to mature under the shadow of loss, and at what price to hold on when letting go inevitably waits.
In beautiful, evocative prose, this is a poignant, intimate exploration of family, remembrance, and the fragile loveliness of attachment. This will haunt long after the last page reminder that even in loss, love is a light that never goes out.
Jacqueline Bereska is a seventeen-year-old writer from North Rhine-Westphalia whose love for the English language has shaped both her studies and her art. Ranked first in her state at the Bundeswettbewerb Fremdsprachen, she has proven her mastery of language not only academically but also creatively. Beyond the classroom, she publishes Kiss My Shades, a zine where poetry, music, and pop culture collide, often laced with subtle nods to her favorite musicians. Having faced personal losses from a young age, Jacqueline channels grief, memory, and resilience into a lyrical, deeply reflective style that sets her apart from many of her peers. Her writing captures the fragile beauty of human connection and the way love endures even in absence. With a voice that is both tender and unflinching, she invites readers into an intimate exploration of life, loss, and the silence in between.
