Your courage to name and share is astounding, Liz. I don’t know any stories of spaces in-between, as well, and it’s need for us humans. Your strength in your recovery and healing is connecting me to my own. Thank you for that gift.

I see you, I hear you, I love you.

This is an orchid of an essay: tall and proud, fragile and beautiful, and so wise and kind.

Took a while to find the courage to read this all the way through because I bailed once I got far enough in to realize I would relate in ways that I don’t like think about. But I’m so glad I came back to your words because they are so lovely (as usual) and there is healing in them for me, too. Thanks for putting them into the world, Liz.

Oh Jo, I’m sorry if it was hard to read but I’m so glad there was healing in them for you too. Sometimes I wonder if it’s worth writing about stuff like this, but hearing things like this makes me feel like it is. ❤️❤️
