@tara.r0se: The hardest thing to replace has been the pictures. It’s the one spot in my house I’ve left untouched because I remember every photo, every memory, and the joy I felt when we took them. Even the old wedding bouquet still sits on the side table. For a long time, I thought missing him meant I wasn’t healing. Now I understand it’s okay to miss him. It’s okay that I loved him. I don’t have to be embarrassed that I loved someone so deeply that it broke me. I’ll always cherish the happiness I experienced. I’m proud of the woman who loved that deeply. And I’m even more proud of the woman learning to love herself that deeply, too. #healing #divorce #women #womenempowerment
