a testament to you

Life is a lot of pain. We can try to pretend it's not there, cover it, avoid it, run away from it, but at the end of the day, pain will find it's way to become present.

But, it's what we do with pain, it's how we relate to it or not that can create a completely different experience of it for ourselves.

I have just watched my sister lose her child in her arms. I can't even begin to imagine what that is like for any parent. To lose your child.

And yet, I have witnessed my sister open her heart & soul to a whole new depth of life. Through loss & pain, she is healing lives around the world with the power of her words, her story, her vulnerability.

In a time it would have been easier to shut off & shut down, she opened. She decided she was going to feel it all, whilst simultaneously giving her all.

She CHOSE to empower the world around her through her baby girl Harper's death. She could have closed & began the process of dying within herself, no, she chose new life.

That is real bravery. To serve your light in the depths of darkness.

To open.

So a testament to all, who have kept their heart open during heartache, heartbreak. Because it inspired others' to do the same. It changes lives completely.
