Dear Stranger, I Know How You Feel Quotes

“Be strong, they say. For what? For whom? Is grief not allowed when you have experienced a loss? There is no need to be strong. There is no need to suppress your pain. You are entitled to the questions that fill your head. The whys and hows are natural. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. But please know this: it isn’t your fault. There was nothing you could have done. You have the right to ask questions and you have the right to fall apart. You don’t owe anyone an explanation when you are alone at night and your grief overtakes you. I see you, curled into a ball, begging for answers. Pleading for the feeling of emptiness to be replaced with something, anything other than despair.”

“Forgiveness is not forgetting what they have done to you. Forgiveness is acknowledgement. Acknowledgement that they hurt you, whether intentionally or by design, and that you had no control over their behaviour. Nothing you could have done would have prevented them from hurting you. Forgiveness means that you simply refuse to allow what they did to you to control you any further.”
