The feelings you fear you’re trapped in
will serve their purpose,
and then fade away.
Difficult to imagine isn’t it?
Almost impossible to believe
when every cell in your body
it seems cries out in agony,
desperately in need of comfort.
When it feels like the only thing in the whole world
that can touch your pain and banish it
is beyond your grasp.
And after all this time,
the assurance that you will heal
has become an empty, broken promise.
Hold on because it’s worth the terrible waiting.
Hold on because you are worthy.
Hold on because the wisdom
that will follow you out of this darkness
will be a tremendous gift.
Hold on because you have
so much love and joy waiting to be experienced.
Hold on because life is precious,
even though it can bring terrible losses.
Hold on because there is so much
that you can’t now imagine
waiting ahead on your journey -
a destiny that only you can fulfill.
Hold on although your exhausted
and your grasp is shaky,
and you want more than anything
to let go sometimes,
hold on even though.
Please hold on.
And the light,
the light at the end of the dark tunnel
for so long cannot be seen,
although eventually you’ll begin to feel
its’ warmth as you move forward.
And forward you must move in order
to get through the hell of remembering,
of despair, of rage, of grief.
Keep looking forward please.
Rest if you must,
doubt your ability to survive
the journey if you have to,
but never let go of the guide ropes,
although when you close your fingers around them,
your hands feel empty,
they are there.
Please trust me,
they are there.
When you’re exhausted,
when all you have to count on is a weakened,
weary faith, hold on.
Hold on,
because this darkness will surely fade away.
Hold on.
Please hold on."
