When Love Feels Distant

When love isn't lost - it's just buried under exhaustion, silence, and unspoken fear.

Ashna and Arjun dreamed of becoming parents. But nothing prepared them for what came after - the sleepless nights, the physical pain no one talks about, the slow drift that can happen between two people who still love each other deeply but can no longer find the words.

When Love Feels Distant tells their story from both sides.

Ashna is healing from a difficult birth while quietly unravelling - her body changed, her identity shifting, her confidence shaken. Arjun is carrying invisible weight - working, worrying, showing up in ways nobody notices. Neither is wrong. Neither is alone. But both are struggling in silence.

Written by Ekta Garg (under her brand WordsByEkta), this is not a book about drama. It's a book about truth - the kind new parents rarely say out loud. It's for the mother sitting on the bathroom floor at 2am. For the father who cried alone in a hospital corridor. For couples who love each other but feel like strangers.

With reflection questions at the end of each chapter, this is a book to read alone or together - for couples, new parents, and book clubs who want real conversation about one of life's most beautiful, difficult transitions.

Because parenthood doesn't ruin relationships. Silence does.
