My grandma passed away on the 10th of May, 2023. I was sitting in my dilapidated apartment in Palermo, Sicily, where I was living at the time, when I heard the news. Rain poured through the roof; a leak that I had repeatedly mentioned to the landlord needed to be fixed. One month after her death, I went to her apartment. Everything was exactly as she left it. Surrounded by photos of myself throughout childhood that she had hung up, I was forced to confront this new version of myself: me without her.
