The silence of a child’s bedroom is a specific kind of violence. It is heavy, cold, and unrelenting. For weeks, I had lived within that silence, anchored to the edge of Owen’s bed, clutching a blue camp shirt that was slowly losing the scent of his skin. Grief had reduced me to a ghost haunting my own hallways. Owen was only thirteen when the lake took him, a freak storm stealing him away during a weekend trip that was supposed to be a celebration of his recent health victories. He had fought cancer for two years with the tenacity of a lion, and we thought we had finally won. Then, in a moment of natural fury, he was gone. No body was recovered, no final words were exchanged, and the lack of closure felt like a wound that refused to knit.
