I see you. You’re the mom who smiles at the grocery store but silently wonders if your child is okay at school today, or if they even made it out of bed. You’re the mom who goes to war with insurance companies, school systems, and even your own self-doubt just to get your child the help they need. You’re the mom who googles symptoms at 2 a.m., cries quietly in the bathroom, and sometimes wonders if you’re failing, because love doesn’t seem like it’s enough anymore....

Dear Reader, I never imagined I’d be writing these words not because I didn’t want to, but because I wasn’t sure where to begin. I’m a mom trying to hold it all together while learning how to support my child through anxiety, depression, and deep emotional pain. It’s one of the hardest things I’ve ever faced. And it’s also one of the loneliest....

I never imagined I’d be writing this. I never thought I’d be the mom holding her breath every night, praying that her child makes it through one more day. In January, our world changed. We found out our 13-year-old daughter had been self-harming. My baby — my funny, smart, sensitive girl — hurting herself in silence. We were blindsided. No warning signs we knew how to read....

Easter Without You

The first Easter without you.
We’re getting ready to head to your aunt’s house—just like we do every year.
But nothing feels the same.

There’s a void I can’t explain.
As I walked in, my heart sank to my stomach.
Heavy breaths. Hands trembling.
Trying to steady myself in a place that once felt full of joy.

This isn’t how Easter is supposed to be.
You’re only 13.
You’re supposed to be here—laughing, running, teasing your cousins, sneaking extra candy.
Not… gone.

Now it’s just a facade.
A fake smile.
An empty chair.
I long for last Easter. I cling to the memory of it like a lifeline.
Back when we were all together.

I miss you more than words can carry.
