2 quotesA Difficult Conversation About Loss
Riley
How did your mum die?
Mia
You know.
Riley
Only bits.
Mia
She… took too many sleeping pills. By accident. Dad was sleeping on the couch. In the morning, he couldn’t open the door.
Riley
Mm. Why?
Mia
Mum was on the other side. And there were scratches on the door and wood under her nails. She tried to get help, but she couldn’t.
Riley
Jade said you got depression after.
Mia
I was just feeling alone.
Riley
No, you can’t ever be alone ’cause you’ll always have me and Jade.
Mia
Yeah. It’s OK, I don’t feel alone anymore.

You going to have nightmares, Riley?

I don't get nightmares.

I do.

Like what?

I have this recurring nightmare… where… I’m looking in the mirror and my reflection is gone. Like I don’t exist.
Riley
What did the hand feel like?
Mia
Mmm… It felt amazing. I felt like I was glowing. I could hear and see and feel everything. But I was in the passenger seat. It felt incredible.
