I'll make lasagna if you wake up

Almost five years after her wife has fallen into a coma Carina DeLuca is still struggling to pick up the pieces of their shattered dreams. She is learning how to raise a child by herself while also holding a career as a doctor. She struggles with her daily life and her faith. Every happy couple makes her chest ache. As she waits for Maya to wake, she is forced to be everything all at once. A good mother, a dutiful wife and a successful doctor. Will Maya ever wake? Is this waiting all for nothing? How do you function when your soulmate isn't there? How can you be a good mother when you have so much pain? How do you be a good mother? Has God left me? These are all questions Carina DeLuca has asked herself.

This work will contain dissuasions of abuse as well as religious trauma and miscarriages. Not in graphic detail, but I wanted to give a warning because those are particularly sensitive topics.
