Unwitnessed (eBook)

Some losses don’t announce themselves.
There’s no funeral, no rupture, no moment where everyone agrees something ended.
What disappears instead is attunement. Regulation. A shared understanding that once made life feel navigable.

Unwitnessed is a collection of essays about grief that doesn’t qualify for ceremony. The kind that happens when a function leaves your life. When joy has nowhere to land. When someone is still here, but no longer present in the way that mattered.

These pieces don’t aim for closure or transformation. They trace what actually happens inside the nervous system when recognition disappears and the system keeps reaching anyway. When there is no witness. When the updates stop carrying information. When the storm passes not because it was calmed, but because it ran out of fuel.

Written with restraint and precision, Unwitnessed is not a guide to healing. It does not offer lessons or redemption arcs. It names experiences many people carry quietly and assume they are alone in.

This book is for anyone who has lost something real that no one else saw them holding.
