The inspiration for this was the concept of some experiences not having a name .
An orphan…is a child who has lost their parents
Someone who is bankrupt …has lost their money
A homeless person…is someone who has lost their house
If you have lost your job…you are redundant.
When you have lost your husband you are a widow, if you are the husband who lost your wife you are a widower.
If you have lost the will to live, you can be described as depressed.
An amnesiac has lost their memory
When something makes you to lose your trust in them , you are betrayed
But the words for loss don't describe everything.
They don't have a word for the parent who loses a child. They don't have a word for the parents who suffer this because of death; they do not have a word for the ones whose child is technically still alive-but lost to them forever because of a mistake they made a long, long time ago.
They don't have a word for the people like us – who have never stopped loving the child they lost. The people who couldn't get her back using words.
Therefore, we stopped trying to find the words. And waited for a miracle
One which turns out to be the words of a blue-eyed, criminal marked stranger, someone who wants to bring her back as much as we do.
Incase you are wondering, this is from the viewpoint of Aki's parents in episode 40- a viewpoint that I found really hard , but decided it would be the best one for this particular story
The words written in the italics are "lost words"-words which name someone who has lost something. Evidently those are not the only type of lost words that are in the story – but they are most of them. So, out of interest …can you guys think of any other "lost words" ?
And finally…please leave feedback , I really do appreciate it .
