So I’m on a fitness journey to get healthy and be at my best for myself! I feel like working on the outside helps heal! Feeling like you are making accomplishments and meeting goals and seeing it lifts your spirits I want to share my journey!

Today I did something that means more than words can really explain… I released a balloons for my son 🎈 And lite a candle of remembrance. Not because I’m letting him go… but because I’m learning how to carry him differently. Grief doesn’t disappear. It doesn’t get smaller. You just learn how to breathe around it. Today, I chose to honor him. To feel it. To not run from it. And if I’m being real… this is why I started this group. Because I know I’m not the only one hurting. I know there are people out there holding pain so heavy, they don’t know if they can keep going. My son didn’t get that chance… but maybe someone here still does. So this is me—showing up raw, unfiltered, and real. Not because I have it all together… but because I refuse to let pain go to waste. If you’re hurting today… you’re not alone. You don’t have to hide it here. Drop a 🎈 in the comments if you’re choosing to keep going today. Even if it’s hard. Even if it hurts. We’re going to heal… together.

Grief, Healing, and Loving Someone You Can’t Hold Anymore I don’t think people understand grief until it becomes part of their everyday life. Not just the kind that comes in waves… but the kind that sits with you when you wake up, walks with you through your day, and lays down with you at night. I lost my son, Leylan… and today would have been his 21st birthday. And there are no words big enough for that kind of pain. There are moments I still can’t believe this is my life. Moments I want to go back—just one more hug, one more “I love you,” one more chance to make things different. But grief has taught me something… healing doesn’t mean “moving on.” Healing means learning how to carry love and loss at the same time. It means waking up and choosing to keep going even when your heart feels shattered. It means finding God in the middle of your pain— not after it’s gone. Because the truth is… I will never stop missing my son. And I don’t want to. That love is proof that he was here. That love is something death didn’t take. So if you’re grieving right now— I want you to hear this: You’re not broken. You’re not weak. You’re carrying something heavy… and still standing. And healing? It doesn’t happen all at once. It happens in small moments— in choosing to breathe, to get up, to believe that your story isn’t over. I’m still walking this road. I’m still learning how to live with a piece of my heart in heaven. But I also believe this— God can take even our deepest pain and turn it into purpose. If you’re here, you’re not alone. We’re going to heal… together. 🤍 #ShatteredButChosen #GriefAndHealing #RealLifeFaith #YouAreNotAlone #HeavenlyBirthday

My son’s birthday is coming up 4/6/2005 he would be 21.09/25/2024 he took his life! A day that should feel whole—but carries a shattered piece of my heart. Losing him changed me forever. There’s a kind of pain only God can sit in with you… and somehow keep you breathing through. I celebrate his life. His smile. His presence. The love he gave me. This is one of my ‘shattered but chosen’ moments… because even here—God is still holding me together. This is what ‘Shattered but Chosen’ looks like… learning to live, love, and keep going even when your heart is broken. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes…” — Revelation 21:4
