Weathering Each Wave

I’ve come a long way from being the girl in this hourglass, drowning in a sea of pain.

If you are presently suffocating at the hand of grief, please know it does in fact get easier to breathe. The sadness still comes in powerful waves, and each rush of water brings us to our knees.

Only to be left with calm; as the ocean meets the shore and somehow, we keep moving forward.

Still bracing ourselves for that next immense wave.

Yet there remains, endless beauty past the wind and the rain. The storm will settle beyond each devastating wave. Leaving joy just past the excruciating pain, and if I could guarantee you just one thing.

You don’t want to miss it.

I often get this overwhelming sense of relief as the realization hits. I could’ve missed all of this and I’m so glad that I didn’t. I know right now the waves are relentless and the intrusive thoughts seem impossible to beat. Maybe you don’t want to live another day or simply wish the pain would cease.

I promise it gets better.

Please just stay.

You are more than capable of weathering this pain.
