"Slowly, but surely, you found grace. You found healing."

While you are on the journey of healing after heartbreak, may you still choose to have hope that it is still possible to know real love. And may you bravely choose to believe there is more to this than what you are feeling. Day by day, you will find grace. You will find healing.

And even when things do not fall into a perfect balance in the way you thought they would, may Light become a constant...a Glorious hope to push through, and to not let the past define you.

I hope you know it’s okay if you notice the days where the shadows are heavier than expected, and where you struggle to believe you are still being directed right where you need to be. You are not “too sensitive.” You have not fallen too far behind just because there are days where you doubt your progress. You are not weak for having moments where you feel the heaviness of disappointment or betrayal all over again. Because through it all, you have continued to breathe. You have continued to exhale in pursue endless boundless peace, showing up in the wild of your chaos, far beyond your understanding. This is strength. This is courage. You are not weak. You are not a failure.

Breath into breath, continue to be kind to yourself, as you slowly come more into yourself. Your heart has been broken, but it has also been opened, to feel, and to also heal.

Remember you are worth the time it takes. You are worth the healing necessary in order to trust in love again. See your progress as more than merely progress. See it as a grace-filled reminder of how resilient you are as you courageously move along the path to make it through this.

It is hard to let go of what hurt you. It is hard to heal from it. It’s hard to make peace with the memories never made or the words you never got to say. But please do not let anyone make you feel that you are weak or you have failed because you are not “over it” by now. Because perhaps there is no such thing as getting “over it.” Perhaps, there is only getting through it. And if that’s where you are right now, there is no shame in this, no matter what anyone says, or how they make you feel. You are worthy of the time it takes to heal. You are worthy of the time it takes to heal.

More tomorrow…

Sincerely,

Morgan Harper Nichols
