She was just a little girl, standing in the hallway with her pink dress still hanging on the hook-waiting for the mother who never came. In this poignant true story, Grace Holloway revisits a childhood moment that captures the heartbreaking intersection of love, mental illness, and silence. When her mother's schizophrenia pulled her deeper into delusions, a quiet hallway became the setting for a loss that was never spoken-but never forgotten.
The Dress She Forgot is a raw and tender reflection on what it means to grow up needing comfort from someone who couldn't give it-and how memory can hold both the ache and the grace of what remains.
