Hearing this, Jamie finally exhaled a breath she hadn't realized she had been holding.

She focused on arranging Winnie's funeral, even though the weight of it was almost too much to bear.

The dead take the past and all the pain, mistakes, and regrets with them, leaving behind only memories worth keeping. But the more Jamie remembered, the more it hurt.
