The author recounts the emotional toll of documenting stories from those affected by the full-scale invasion, noting that the pain of others was so exhausting that she cannot recall her own experiences from those months. Over three years, she wrote over 200 stories, which remain a significant part of her consciousness. In a specific anecdote, she recounts meeting a girl in Kyiv who questioned why a day of mourning was declared for casualties in Kryvyi Rih, contrasting it with the lack of such days for those killed in Kharkiv, Kupyansk, or Kramatorsk. The author reflects that the concept of a “day of mourning” now feels outdated, as life itself has become a continuous state of mourning where individual tragedies are blurred.
