Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - ABOUT THE BOOK PHYSICALLY PRESENT BUT MENTALLY NOT is a deeply emotional reflection on what happens when someone leaves our life, but our mind continues living with them. It explores the quiet reality of carrying an absence through ordinary days, continuing our responsibilities while secretly waiting, remembering, questioning, hoping, and imagining a future that may no longer exist. The book enters the spaces we rarely speak about, the unanswered questions, the places that suddenly feel different, the fear that perhaps we are the only ones still waiting, the uncertainty of whether what we shared was truly love, and the strange pain of seeing someone still exist in the world while knowing that the person we once knew is no longer part of our life in the same way. Through reflections on love, memory, absence, prayer, hope, lost time, and the futures we once imagined, the book explores how easily we can become physically present in our lives while remaining mentally somewhere else. We may continue working, meeting people, smiling, and fulfilling responsibilities, yet a part of us can remain suspended in a past we cannot change or a future we can no longer guarantee. But this is not only a book about losing someone. It is also about what we lose within ourselves while trying to hold on to them. Sometimes, while waiting for someone to return, we slowly stop returning to ourselves. We postpone our lives, abandon parts of who we were, and allow another person's absence to become the centre around which our own existence revolves. PHYSICALLY PRESENT BUT MENTALLY NOT is ultimately a journey from absence toward presence, from waiting toward acceptance, and from losing ourselves in someone else's absence toward finding our way back to our own lives. It does not ask us to forget the people who mattered. Instead, it reminds us that we can remember without remaining trapped, love without disappearing, hope without putting our lives on hold, and carry the past without surrendering the future. Because sometimes the person we are waiting for may never return. But we can.…
