I know your heart is tired.
I know the ache feels endless.
But hear me—what it means to you is why it hurts.
It’s not weakness. It’s not failure.
It’s love. It’s trust. It’s the depth of your soul saying, “This mattered.”
You’re not just grieving what happened—
you’re grieving the meaning you wrapped around it.
The promises. The hope. The picture of a life you thought you could lean on.
And that’s why the wound feels so sharp.
Because it cut through more than the moment—it cut through the meaning.
But let me remind you of something:
pain is a mirror.
It shows how deeply you can feel,
how deeply you can love,
how deeply you can give.
That’s not something to hide.
That’s something holy.
Yes, it hurts now. It’s supposed to.
But the same meaning that broke you
will be the soil your healing grows from.
Right now, it means loss.
But one day, it will mean survival.
One day, it will mean strength.
One day, it will mean, “I walked through the fire and I did not burn away.”
So let the tears fall. Let the ache breathe.
But don’t let it define you forever.
You are more than what was taken.
You are more than what was broken.
And your soul already knows—
this pain will one day carry your freedom.
