This to shall pass
As many of you know my daughter died 10 months ago.
My life has been hell on earth for the last 16 months. The diagnosis, the steady progression toward death, the suffering, her passing, and the blackness of grief and depression afterwards are things that there are not words for. I honestly had forgotten what feeling OK felt like.
Then yesterday happened. It was a good day for a bunch of reasons and I saw a glimmer of hope. Yesterday gave me some serenity and more importantly I know in my heart the worst is over.
I know there are a ton of bad days ahead but the good days will come more often and eventually I will get my life back.
The reason I know things will get better is because I didn't drink. People with long term sobriety told me things would get better and I believed them even during the darkest days.
I thank God and the many people here who supported me on this journey and I would like to say to newcomers.
No matter how bad your life is there are good days ahead as long as we stay sober
