The Day I Chose to Speak

After his passing, I shut down emotionally. Grief wrapped itself around me like a fog, heavy and constant. But one day, it became too much to carry alone. I broke down in front of a close friend and, for the first time, I let the tears flow and the words tumble out. That moment changed everything. It didn’t erase the pain, but it cracked the walls I had built around my heart. Speaking my truth gave me space to breathe. If you’re carrying heavy thoughts, I promise: sharing them helps.
