"You can be happy, hurting, and healing all at the same time." This quote precisely captures what a client is currently experiencing. Sometimes healing isn't a straight path. She is mourning the life she hoped for while celebrating the life growing within her.
You can grieve what was lost, feel the weight of difficult decisions, and still be excited to meet your baby. You can carry heartbreak and hope in the same heart.
For many survivors, healing begins before the pain is over. It happens in doctor appointments, sleepless nights, court dates, prayer and mentoring sessions, quiet prayers, and courageous next steps. It happens while building safety, rebuilding trust, and preparing for a new chapter.
If you're walking through a season where joy and sorrow seem to exist side by side, know this: You don't have to choose one feeling over the other. Both can be true.
You can be hurting from what you've been through, healing from what you've survived, and happy about what's still to come. And that doesn't make your healing any less real.
