Book excerpt: After thirteen years of marriage, I thought my life was over. I received a lot of advice from many people, making it hard to know what to do. However, there was one piece of advice that stood out to me and set the tone for my healing journey. The advice was simple yet powerful: there are no shortcuts in this process. Making a huge change like this requires time and effort. As someone who was always in a hurry, this advice was terrifying. I realized that giving myself time to heal properly was exactly what I needed to do. This was only the beginning of the end. It is starting all over again. Finally finding my footing through the uphill battles and silent cries, I can confidently say that it can be done. This book of poems represents just a portion of my journey. I hope it will help others who are on a similar road.
