Post Traumatic Stress Disorder; The storm after the storm.
The Lingering Shadows.
Childhood is often seen as a time of innocence, exploration, and growth. Yet for many, it is a period marred by trauma, be it emotional neglect, physical abuse, domestic violence, or abandonment. The impact of such experiences can reach far beyond the early years, quietly infiltrating adulthood and shaping how individuals relate to the world, their partners, and ultimately, their own children.

Grief is the Mirror for Beauty. Content Warning.
This Isn’t a Healing Guide This isn’t a feel-good story riddled with toxic positivity and advice on how you should buckle up your bootstraps and get over it when you’ve suffered a great loss. Neither is it a tale of a rushed urge to heal and stop feeling pain. This story doesn’t offer any expectations or pressure – it is merely my lived experience. The unexpected moments where past wounds were surfaced long after my loss. The instances where I started to feel joy again – and the guilt that accompanied it. The paradox of feeling heartbreak and peace at once and not only being okay with that, but realizing it was the unlock to my ultimate happiness.
