Description

In Wendy’s home rest the ashes of three women who shaped her world: her grandmother, her mother, and her best friend. Two embody the ease of unconditional love; the third, her mother, carries a history braided with both tenderness and hurt. As we sat together, stories surfaced gently: moments of joy, moments that stung, surprising turns in a life still being understood. And when Wendy went to gather the small vessels that hold these ashes, she realized she couldn’t find her mother’s. The absence hung softly between us, reflecting the complicated bond she continues to navigate, a relationship still present, even in its gaps.

This is Wendy's story.
