“You won’t understand this now, but someday you’ll see that the hardest thing you’ll ever have to do is just keep going. And you will. You’ll keep going because that’s what you do. Even when you’re so sad you can’t breathe, even when you think you’ll never be happy again, you’ll keep going.
There will be days when getting out of bed feels impossible. When the weight of everything you’ve lost presses down on your chest, making each breath feel heavier than the last. But somehow, you’ll find a way to take one step, then another. Not because you want to, but because stopping isn’t an option—not for someone like you.
And eventually, the pain will lessen. It won’t disappear—it will always linger, tucked away in the corners of your heart—but you’ll learn to live with it. You’ll learn how to carry it without letting it crush you. Over time, the sharp edges will soften, and while the ache may remain, it will become quieter, gentler, more familiar.
What you’ll realize along the way is that keeping going isn’t about forgetting or moving on. It’s about honoring what you’ve lost while still choosing life. It’s about allowing yourself to feel every bit of sadness, anger, and longing, but not letting those feelings define you.
You’ll also discover something unexpected: within the act of continuing, there’s strength. A quiet kind of courage that grows each time you choose to face another day. And though it might not feel like much at first, over time, those small choices will add up. They’ll remind you that you are capable of surviving—even thriving—despite the pain.
So yes, the hardest thing you’ll ever have to do is just keep going. But trust me—you will. Because deep down, you already know: life doesn’t stop, and neither will you.” ❤
God Bless
