“Maybe. But it was also true. And sometimes, the truth is the loudest thing in the room.”
She ended with a message for others walking similar paths:
“To anyone with a story like ours, you are not alone.
You don’t have to scream. You just have to speak. For yourself.
For the ones you lost. For the truth they never got to say.”
