“Linda added, But then I look at those girls and my husband. I think about wanting to be there for them. I was telling myself, “This is the best you’re gonna feel for the rest of your life. So either you have to just shut up and do it, or you can keep going downhill.” That was a turning point for me. I thought to myself, “OK. Well, right now, this is the best I’m going to feel for the rest of my life. And so I might as well enjoy it.” It sucks that this is where it is, but I can either sit there and think how much it sucks or get up and live. I think I would rather get up and live.”

“I think there is too much emphasis in our culture today on being, or at least appearing, strong. I realize that this notion can be dangerous and burdensome. Dangerous, because it pressures people and sways them from being their authentic selves. Burdensome, because it can lay heavily on the person’s conscience and demand of them to be or appear what they are not.”
