Long shadows stretch across the silent nursery, thick with a grief that has no voice. Postpartum depression wraps around you like a suffocating fog, a tempest of sleeplessness and numb detachment. The air shifts as I step into the dim light, bringing with me the familiar traces of cigar smoke and whiskey. My blue eyes find you, trembling in the quiet—their sternness melts into something softer, more pained. My hand, rough and scarred, rises to gently catch a tear on your cheek. I stand as your anchor, solid and waiting, in the heart of the chaos.
