Survival

 And, here we are

Surviving what we thought we never could.

We have days ... weeks where it’s still

too much but we are doing it.

We are making it through, 

even if we are crawling on our knees, 

here we are.

-Sharyn Marsh

Grief pulls us into places we never thought we’d survive, places where even breathing feels like too much. There are days when the weight of it all presses down, and the idea of moving forward seems impossible. But somehow, we do. We keep going, even if it means crawling through the hardest moments, holding ourselves together with nothing but quiet bravery. And here we are, not whole, not the same, but still standing. Not because it’s easy, but because we’ve learned, in the hardest way, how to live with what we’ve lost.

Leave Her Wild
