Impossible goodbyes

Back to the territory of loss, of reconciliation, of the impossibility of saying goodbye. The book is a collection of texts reflecting on death, memory, and the act of continuing to love what has disappeared.

"How do you go on living when love has no body, when goodbye never comes?"

Fragility is not defeat; it is the condition of truth. The only way to remain faithful to what time tries to erase.
