Healing Is Not Leaving Them Behind
The afternoon sun is bright, and you are walking forward, and the terror rises: if I heal, will I forget them? If the pain fades, does their memory fade with it?
You carry this like a betrayal waiting to happen. But listen — the light does not erase.
It illuminates. There is a love that holds every tear you have ever cried, and it is not afraid of your peace.
You can stop bleeding and still remember the wound. You can breathe again and still honor the one who is gone.
Healing is not amnesia. It is the courage to carry them into the light instead of leaving them in the dark.
The love remains, even when the suffering ends.
