A Change of Pace...

I'm not angry (today) so I couldn't take my message to the steam room and although I've never loss anyone to violence, I have loss many. Today my message is geared more towards the survivors and the message is, It's okay to live. Grief can be so heavy on us at times that we sometimes feel suffocated by the pain, which can cause depression or even worse. When we lose someone we love, we are left with so many unanswered questions, thoughts, as well as, memories and that becomes our whole life. I know it feels impossible to move forward without the ones we love moving beside us, but we have to remember that the puzzle is just pieces, until we take each piece and connect them. I'm not saying it's easy and I know life will never be the same, but we owe it to the ones we lost, to make ourselves whole again. It's okay to live. Anonymous 09/2023
