We always tell those who are hurting to reach out, to tell their loved ones - that they are not alone. What we dont tell them, and should, is that sometimes their voice will be rejected. That they will be mocked or condemned for it. That there will be anger and denial. And they will end up feeling lonelier than ever. They will be pushed away. It will become even harder for them to find a reason to go on. I usually have something positive to say, some way through, but the fact is, there isnt much. All you can do is desperately try to find the thin slivers of goodness, to try to ignore the rejection and self loathing. Theres nothing easy about it. All I can say is I know you can do it. I believe in you. One small moment and the next. You may not be fine, but you will be alive. And since pain is nothing new, you can hope for a time when it is less, when the light breaks through and you can have a day of peace, and then another. You may feel entirely alone and without hope. But hold on. Just hold on. Good moments are coming. Just hold on.
