If you’ve found yourself here, in this life you didn’t ask for, in this life you didn’t see coming, I’m sorry. I can’t tell you it will all work out in the end. I can’t tell you things will be just fine. You are not “OK.” You might not ever be “OK.” Whatever grief you’re carrying, it’s important to acknowledge how bad this is, how hard. It really is horrendous, horrifying, and unsurvivable.
