#imournher before she was so many things to others. Before she was a wife, a caregiver, a secretary, a therapist. When she was so carefree and eager for life. Before she was a mom to angel babies and went through so many hard things that she shouldn’t have had to. She is me, I am her. #iamher #

She was trying so hard to hold it together. She thought if she looked good enough, maybe people would stop hurting her. She didn’t realize softness doesn’t protect you from cruelty. I look at this and feel grief all over again. #mourningmyself #vulnerable #traumarelease #reallif

Not mourning, just noticing. Life looks different now, but so much beauty has grown here too. Had to jump on this trend to say to the mamas feeling lost- sending you love. You will come back to yourself, and you’ll love who you meet🤎🥹 #cherishher #lemon8challenge #imournher #embracevulner
