Brave Love Quotes

“I was learning that pain demanded to be felt—on its own terms and in its own timing. It wouldn’t be rushed. It wouldn’t be pushed away or minimized. There was no set timetable for grief. There were no Bible verses or life truths that could lessen pain’s grip. No matter how much I wanted to push it away or pretend it wasn’t there, there were no tricks or tips to relieve the agony.”
― Lisa Leonard, Brave Love: Making Space for You to Be You

“In the coming days, grief would crash over me like storm-tossed ocean waves. I grieved the loss of the young woman I had been. I grieved the loss of my carefree life. I feared that pain would now be my constant companion. I grieved the baby I lost, the one from my imagination who never existed. I grieved for what this sweet baby would never have—a normal life, a normal childhood. I grieved the end of our perfect story.”
