Clinging to Hope

About Me

I won’t be sharing my name here or the names of others and I hope you understand that it comes only from a place of love, respect, and protection.

Everything you read here is true and honest. I’m writing this so that others know they aren’t alone; in many ways and writing is part of my own healing. Sharing these words with my husband and with those closest to me, people who truly know my heart, has been one of the most meaningful parts of this journey.

Why I Write

I’m not sure whether it’s nature or nurture, but I’ve always been a deeply introverted, internal processor. I’m not always good at letting people in or at being honest about what I’m feeling even with the people I love most.

This page is part of changing that. It is my healing and my inner child’s healing to finally give words to some of the pain I’ve carried. To name it. To release it. To let it be seen.

A Word for You

My hope is that what I share here encourages you. That it helps you feel seen and loved, wherever you are in your own story.

No matter what you’ve been through, you are not alone. And no matter where you find yourself today, God is with you.

Psalm 139:8-10
