We forget that every day we’re lifting our head from the pillow counts as something. We forget how strong we truly are.

“

You heal—one piece, one fragment, one crack at a time—because you can, because you deserve to.

“

You cannot rush the reconstruction of a heart.

“

Seek wisdom, prayer, and support from trusted friends. Cry out to the Lord when you just can’t handle it anymore. He tells us so clearly in His word that He is near to the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

“

When you lose someone, you don’t just lose them once. You lose them every single day, you lose them slowly.

“

We’re human, and we’re not perfect, so let yourself fall down because that is the first step of picking yourself back up.

“

Like a broken bone when it’s cold outside, it may still sting a little bit some days. You will walk with wobbly legs at first until you are finally ready to get your feet back on the ground. But with time, you will do it. You will overcome this in the most graceful way possible.

“

I hope that I scared you because it means I won’t be alone in feeling that way.
