WHAT THIS STORY EXPLORES
Deadline explores grief through the guilt that can come with surviving someone you love. At its center is the fear that moving forward means leaving someone behind, and that experiencing happiness again somehow diminishes the love that came before. The story asks what it means to release guilt without releasing the person attached to it, making room for joy and new beginnings while allowing grief to exist on its own timeline.
How do we release guilt without letting go of the people we love?

"When I laugh at a joke... or smile... or kiss someone, I feel like I'm betraying him."
