Thank you!
A Heartfelt Thank You: Your Love and Support Meant Everything
When I decided to share my story, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I wrote it from the heart (raw, honest, and unfiltered) hoping that maybe, just maybe, it would reach someone who needed to hear it. What I didn’t expect was the overwhelming wave of love, kindness, and support that poured in from so many of you.
To every single person who took the time to read my words, to send a message, to reach out with love, to share your own experiences: thank you. Truly. I have no words to express how much it has meant to me.
This wasn’t easy to write. It wasn’t even easy to think about. Because while I may seem strong now, the truth is, overcoming something like this isn’t a moment, it’s a long, painful process. And if I’m being honest, I don’t even know if I’ll ever fully “overcome” it. Maybe that’s not even the point. Maybe it’s not about moving past it but about learning to carry it differently. About finding ways to exist with the memories, the emotions, the loss—without letting them consume you.
For months, I couldn’t even talk about it. The words just wouldn’t come out. It felt too heavy, too raw. There were moments when I wanted to scream, moments when I wanted to pretend it never happened, and moments when I felt like I was drowning in my own thoughts. I felt empty in a way I didn’t know was possible. And the hardest part? I felt alone in it.
That’s why I wrote that post. Because I knew I wasn’t the only one who had been through something like this, yet somehow, no one talks about it. This kind of loss becomes a quiet pain, something we’re expected to grieve in silence. And I didn’t want that. I didn’t want anyone else to feel as alone as I did.
But what I didn’t expect and what truly overwhelmed me, was how many of you reached back. How many of you sent messages filled with love, warmth, and support. How many of you shared your own stories. Some of you told me how much you related to my words, some of you simply sent love, and some of you reminded me that even in the hardest moments, we are never truly alone.
And that’s when it hit me: this wasn’t just my story. This is something so many women go through, so many people experience, but we just don’t talk about it enough. And maybe, by talking about it, by sharing it, by opening up these conversations, we can take some of the weight off each other’s shoulders.
I’m still healing. I probably always will be in some way. But knowing that my words reached people, that they mattered, that they made even one person feel less alone, that means everything to me.
So from the bottom of my heart: thank you. Thank you for your kindness, your messages, your love. Thank you for reminding me of the power of connection, of how much we all need each other, especially in the hardest moments. I felt every single word you sent my way, and I carry them with me.
And if my story helped even one person take a deep breath and feel a little less alone, then that’s the greatest gift I could have asked for.
With love and gratitude,
Alexandra 💛
