Some stories sit in your chest for years, quietly waiting to be told.
This one wasn’t easy.
It’s not even about grief, not exactly.
It’s about absence.
And the ache of what was never offered.
What would you do if someone from your past, someone you never really knew, ended up in the hospital… and you suddenly felt something?
This episode of Better Said Than Written began with a simple text from my sister.
By the end, it became a reflection on complicated family ties, unexpected emotions, and the kind of longing we rarely talk about out loud.
It’s not about closure.
It’s about noticing the silence.
And realizing how loud it really is.
Quote Highlight: “You can’t miss what you never had.” — Hunter S. Thompson
