The void created by Kayln’s death is vast. I can barely grasp the fact that she is gone, let alone imagine how I am supposed to move forward without her. Each day I face reminders of her; her spot at the dining room table, her gluten-free food in the pantry, her car out front. I have a very hard time going into her bedroom; it makes the feeling of loss more intense. I am thankful for her Facebook page, where I can read her friends’ comments and look at her pictures, but at the same time I can only look for a short time before I am overwhelmed with sadness. I wonder if these feelings of grief and loss will ever end. Maybe the pain will just become more bearable over time.
