Afterwards.
The afterwards.
In our moments of deepest pain, grief, betrayal, and hurt we do not think about what will come next. The “afterwards”.
A hostage in the moment. Time standing still. Caught in the firestorm. Washed over by the wave. A narrowed focus. A nightmare becomes real, and a trauma is lived.
But there is an afterwards.
After the loss.
After the funeral.
After the affair.
After the violence.
After the ending.
After the goodbye.
After the addiction.
The afterwards is waiting. Waiting to be lived. A life forever changed. A heart, mind, and soul waiting to be healed.
You will never be better because of “it”. But there will be an afterwards.
Even when we are grasping by a thread, we have a part in the construction of the afterwards. Our actions influence the afterwards meaning we have some agency even in the most powerless of times.
Afterwards is healing. Afterwards is reclamation. Afterwards is reuniting.
What will your afterwards be?
