To the friend I still haven't called back,

It isn't you. It's that I don't have the language yet for what I'm sitting with, and I can hear the questions inside your kindness.

I will call. I promise. But first I'm trying to learn how to say "I'm not okay" without immediately apologizing for it.

Acknowledge — one at a time, silently

No replies. No reactions. Only these four.
