Summary: This journey has been a pilgrimage of sorts. Yet pilgrims are still human, and every human grieves.

You weep, at night, when you think no one can hear you, and have done every night since you lost him. You’re surrounded by memories. Your sheets still smell of him and are a constant reminder of what he is to you (and how he’s now gone, for ever).

You’re more than a little broken.

You lie awake, long after almost everyone is sleeping, sobbing your heart out. The pain is overwhelming, and you don’t know how to bear it any more without losing your mind.

And each and every one of those heart-broken, sobbing cries has a name:

Edmund.
