The vibrant colors of the Instagram feed, the laughing faces of her daughter’s friends, felt like a slap in the face. A coldness crept into Jennifer’s fingers and toes. She scrolled through the endless photos, each one a testament to a world she wasn't part of.

She collapsed onto the bed, the weight of the realization crushing her. The world had become a harsh, unforgiving place.
