Sorrow

 


A vivid, honest meditation on why grief hurts so much—because it proves something meaningful once existed.


Because sorrow comes in many forms.


Sometimes like a devious thief in the night.


A kleptomaniac who'll impulsively steal joy for pain.


From parents

Lovers.

To children.


Friends and family.


Have you heard him casually whisper your name?


Title.

Sorrow.


(Mr. Grief whispers)


Do you want to experience real devastating pain?


Then fall in love with someone incredible and let me break you down.


Again and again.

From birth until death.


When you wake up one day and only you and sweet memories suddenly remain.
