Brief Reprieves
To lift the heavy cloud of sadness that lingered over me, Sarah and Jennifer often encouraged outings. We’d take leisurely walks through the park or share a quick lunch. Their presence was a welcome respite, even though my sorrow quietly followed us. I couldn’t help but feel guilty for not being fully present, but those fleeting escapes from heartache were invaluable. In those moments, their laughter cut through the gloom, and for a while, the weight on my heart felt a little lighter.

Each morning marked another step on this challenging journey, bringing new trials and unexpected revelations. I often found myself questioning where things had gone so wrong, yet I chose to focus on moving forward—toward understanding and healing.

Each day offered an opportunity to uncover deeper insights and slowly begin rebuilding from whatever truths Mark unearthed.
