"4 Years ago my entire life imploded over night - I went from being a stay at home mom of a newborn, 2/4/5 yo, to a SOLO parent who suddenly had to provide. Surviving seemed overwhelming….and layered on that I was faced with the sudden death of my father, selling my home, coordinating an inter-continental move and keeping everyone else alive…I didn’t have TIME for feels. And then it hit me. The waves of darkness. The overwhelming sense of despair. I went from being the girl who laughed in the face of danger to wanting to crawl into the abyss. Four sets of eyes stared at me each morning, asking if it would be ok. I told them YES:..and by telling them Yes, I slowly convinces myself of it. Four years later we have built a beautiful life…some days grief still creeps in…but the overwhelming BEAUTY of seeing my children SAFE & thriving makes all the sacrifice worthwhile. STAY….even in the depths of darkness…the best IS yet to come💞🌈✨"
