Will I ever feel better?

Yes, you absolutely will feel better — please hold on to that promise because no dark season lasts forever. I always give myself permission to feel the emotions first without rushing the healing, whether that means having a good cry or just sitting quietly with my thoughts. Then I slowly pull myself up by doing simple things like going for a walk, cooking a comforting meal, calling a loved one, or just getting some extra rest. You are so much stronger than you think, and better days are truly on their way.
