“I was walking along one day and smacked into this wall called hope deferred and depression and…grief.
And it wouldn’t budge.
After some time, I realized this darkness I’d found myself in was called grief.
I’d been through so much trauma, everything about me- including my body, emotions and soul, was shutting down and going into preservation mode.
I entered a season where the battle caught up with me and I realized just how badly I’d been beaten and torn up, inside and out.”

Ah yes, “So it’s true, when all is said and done, grief is the price we pay for love.”
