Experience a powerful excerpt:

"Why? The question persistently echoed in his mind, a haunting refrain that refused to be silenced. The weight of the unknowable pressed down on him, suffocating him with its relentless uncertainty.
Why did this happen? How could everything be taken away so suddenly?
The unanswered questions pierced his soul, like shards of glass slicing through flesh, tormenting him with the futility of his search for answers, only fueling his despair. He searched for the rational thinking that had always guided him, the comforting logic that had once provided a sense of order in the confusion of life, but now he found only emptiness.
Loss shattered his world. Can he find redemption beneath the endless sky?
The universe, once a source of wonder and fascination, now appeared cold and indifferent, a cruel jester playing with his fragile heart.
'God!' he cried out, the word tasting like bitter ashes on his tongue. His voice echoed through the empty home, a haunting testament to his profound loss.
'Why did you take her from me? Why?'
But no divine answer came to ease his shattered heart, no comforting reassurance to soothe his anguished soul. Nathan's sobs echoed through the empty home, a heartbreaking melody that spoke volumes of his despair."
