…… when the pain doesn’t cripple you.

There will be a day when his death won’t be the first thing you think of in the morning …… or the last thing you think of at night.

There will be a day when that day of the month doesn’t register with your brain.

There will be a day when you can look at pictures of him and smile instead of cry.

There will be a day when you realize how far you’ve come …… and that you’re much stronger than you thought you were.

There will be a day when you don’t feel bad for laughing.

There will be a day when you don’t cry.
At all.

There will be a day when you stop wishing that you would die.

There will be a day when memories will warm your heart.

There will be a day when you know that you will survive.
And thrive.

It may take a while, but it will come.
There’s no time schedule that you can follow.
It’s different for everyone.
But the day will come.
Eventually.
It can’t be rushed.
It can’t be forced.
It comes on its own.

But it will come.

There will be a day …… when life will be worth living.
And you’ll be an example for someone else on this path.
Someone who’s behind you …… and sees you as hope.
Hope that they, too, will survive.

There will be a day.
