HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY!
"Grief wears many faces, some unseen,
Some whispered in silence, unheard, unspoken.
The loss of dreams, of futures planned,
Of relationships that withered, unacknowledged pain.
She carries it with a brave face,
A smile that hides the weight she bears.
Unseen grief, unvalidated tears,
Yet still she rises, through all her fears.
To every woman who has felt this weight,
Whose grief has been minimized or dismissed in haste,
Your pain is real, your feelings are true,
And your story is worth telling, your gift to the world.
In the quiet nights, when shadows play,
She gathers her sorrows, her stains, her gains.
The world may not see, may not understand,
But her heart knows the depth of all she has borne
You are not alone, you are not lost,
Your grief is valid, no matter the cost.
Keep telling your story, keep shining your light,
And know that healing comes, though it may take time.
In circles of sisters, aunties, and mothers,
Shared struggles weave a tapestry of love and bonds unbroken.
Our wounds may differ, but our strength is the same,
Together we rise, in community, we find our way.
Let's recognize the threads that bind us tight,
In our shared stories, we find our guiding light.
For in each other's struggles, we find our own way,
Through the darkness, to a brighter day."
