Walking a long, dark road with no end in sight.

You'd think the Earth would have mercy on her
after all the shit she's been through.
But no,
the bottom of the bottle Life threw at her
is not yet in sight.

I would not have believed it when someone would say
how hard it is to see someone you love suffer
I have known her all my life
she and my mom went to high school together,
and I always characterised her as everything I was not:
strong, peaceful, and with a wonderful support network.
She seemed so incredibly strong
after having fought through more shit on her own
than you and I could probably handle together.

Her incredible husband died
when she had barely given birth to their son
she had to raise two kids
with a youth trauma in her head
while grieving over her beloved husband.

She seemed so strong
But even the strongest person needs to break and fall sometimes
Yet her fall doesn't seem to end.

She's falling and falling...

A. , my heart aches for you.
