“It’s a living hell. Because a lot of good, wonderful moments are being tainted with pain. And I think you’re doing the same thing. I don’t know what happened, because neither of you will talk about it. But you’re allowing your pain, your fears, to ruin what were likely some of the best moments of your life—both of you are. But you’re not dying, Shay. You don’t have to sit in it and wait. You can change it. You can claim the life you want. It’s yours for the taking.”
