Celebrate YOU

The Healing Step Forward — Before you move forward, make sure you take time to grieve the loss of family, the loss of the love you thought would last longer than it did, and most importantly the loss of who you used to be. Only you know how strong you had to be. Only you know the amount of loneliness you felt. Only you know what it took to rise back from the things that could have torn you apart.
