One of the reasons I write is to share my grief experience with others.
I realized when tossed into the ocean of sorrow that of all the things I had heard about or read about, surviving child loss was never mentioned.

I am thankful for Brene Brown.
She has helped me put words to my feelings, helped me see a way forward when I felt there was none and helped me own my story even though it is hard.
I keep her quotes around to encourage my heart and remind me that I am brave.
This is one of my favorites:
We all have one you know.
A story.
Many of us think ours isn’t important because it feels so small. We can’t imagine our truth blazoned across a headline.
Your story matters.
Who you are and how you got there is worthy of repeating. You never know if your story will be the key to unlock someone else’s prison.
Some heart is begging to know that they are not alone.
Some soul waits breathless to hear that what they are hiding is OK to share.
Someone, somewhere needs you to unlock the vault of memory and invite them to do the same.
Speak your truth.
Tell your story.
You own it.
