TW - grief (not about A though so don't panic!) It's been a heartbreaking couple of weeks here in the hospital. 2 of A's buddies on the ward didn't make it. It's been so painful and shocking. And I just can't make it make sense.
A colour drawing. The words IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE are written in browns, orange and yellow on a scribbly black and white background

A drawing of a corridor leading to a door. Above it is a sign saying "GRIEF LONG TERM STORAGE UNIT". There are two people outside, both wearing lanyards, one eyes closed, hands on hips, the other close to door, eyes open, eyes splayed
