Emptiness carry’s its own weight, that slowly releases when noticed and nurtured with love.
There is a chair that waits,
its wooden frame holding
the shape of absence.
It remembers the weight
that once pressed into its seat,
the laughter that circled above it,
the warmth that is no longer there.
An empty chair is more than furniture.
It is a witness.
It holds silence the way a vessel
holds water,
quietly, steadily,
until the silence overflows.
You find yourself staring at it,
wondering if absence
can ever be filled
or if it must simply
be carried.
And still,
the chair remains,
a quiet sentinel
for what once was,
and what might one day return.
Tomorrow, the echo speaks…
~Kerri-Elizabeth~
The chair sits quietly, but it speaks of more than absence. Tomorrow, the echo will grow louder, carrying the sound of rejection through the walls.
SONSHINE FOR YOU 
This is such a deeply moving and beautifully crafted piece. 🌿✨ The way you’ve given the empty chair a soul—turning it into a witness, a vessel, and a silent companion of absence—is breathtaking. The imagery of the chair holding laughter, warmth, and silence makes the intangible weight of loss so tangible, yet with a tenderness that feels healing. The closing thought of “tomorrow, the echo speaks” carries both longing and hope, reminding us that absence doesn’t erase presence—it transforms it. A powerful reflection on grief, memory, and love. 💫

You are an observer of the chair – your grief sits beside you. It feels so empty, but your heart is full, Kerri. You are filled with expressions of your love and loss. Thank you for opening up to share your grief in ways so many people will appreciate – it gives words and images for their own personal grief.

Grief shows up in many ways for people gone and people here that are gone in other ways.. it sure has depth and many different forms, but it has transformed many times for me… thank you for always being such a beautiful support and cheerleader along the way.
