Shiloh
Nine Years Later
I stare at the casket as the minister ends his prayer and dismisses the crowd.
Once gone, their lives will return to normal, while I’m left yet again to face
the unfairness of life.
It’s nearly bled me dry. Left me teetering on the edge of my breaking
point. I don’t think I can take much more of the continuous knocking me
down, kicking me constantly in the chest, only to stand upright before
sending me crashing again.
No, next time, I’ll plummet, and hit the jagged rocks at the bottom.
Life has dealt me a cruel hand while laughing in my face with its teeth
bared and claws out. First, it brings me a loss I’ve kept to myself—a decision
that’s left a stake of regret in my chest.
Then, it took my unborn son by knotting up the umbilical cord and cutting
off his oxygen when I was seven months pregnant, resulting in a stillbirth. I
never imagined my doctor would tell me he was gone when I went in for my
checkup. It was only the morning before he somersaulted in my belly and
kicked at my ribs. Finding out he was dead was the most unimaginable, raw
pain I’d ever experienced. It was silent inner self-screaming anguish.
Those losses have left a hole inside of me so deep and wide it will remain
forever vacant.
A hollowness that echoes.
The next came a few weeks after burying my son. I was mourning the
loss, trying to bring myself out of the numbness, when I found out my
husband, Ryan, was having an affair with my best friend, Sloane. Her
betrayal hurt more than his.
After that, I had to get out. I quit my job at a small accounting firm and
packed up from where we lived just across the river in Jersey City, leaving
the two of them to their lives. I moved back to Manhattan to stay with my
father until I bought my cute little house in Howard Beach, about an hour
outside the city. I filed for divorce and have spent the last year trying to put
myself back together rather than living in a heap of rubble.
Now that’s where I find myself today as the last piece of my heart is about
to be lowered into the ground alongside my mother, who died from a hit and
run with I was a toddler.
