"The pain of losing a child starts by breaking your heart and then courses through every single vein and vessel, consuming your body until your bones ache.
How does a mother learn to breathe again after her baby dies? One breath in. One breath out. And then again. And again.
Suffering does not choose the weak or the strong, the faithful or the faithless. It chooses the human.
When you are caught by waves that are larger than your capacity to stay above the surface, you've got to allow your heart to feel the pain all the way down to the bottom, so that when you get there you can see you're still alive. There's still hope." ~Adriel Booker in Grace Like Scarlett
