They say time heals all wounds....

........they are full of shit.

Time doesn't heal anything. It softens the hard edges, clouds memories, but true healing rarely comes with time alone.

Losing a loved one is common. Each of us walk that path in a different way. When you face an unexpected loss at the hand of someone else, especially a young person, it is so much more than just grief. Blinding rage. Hatred. Despair. Bottomless holes of darkness, year after year.

But sometimes, you are given a gentle reminder. Carried on the wind, a whisper in the darkest hour of night. While the world is quiet, the storms rage on inside my head. Loud and unrelenting.

Shine a light friends, wherever you go. Because some of us are drowning behind our smile.
