There is most certainly no dry eye in the building. "I created a book for the boys, as if it were written by their father, with so many pictures of happier times together. The book was mainly their father saying that he loved them, and that it isn’t their fault." This and mostly the entire article is so poignant re acts of service; in a post about DV and grief, Isabelle continues to primarily talk about how she is helping her children through it all. Clearly not to the detriment of her own healing, but the love and compassion she is showing her kids among this horrible thing none of them deserved to experience is a remarkable display of resilience. Sending SO much love to both of you ❤️

What a heavy mental load to carry, and definitely the kind of combined trauma/complicated grief that can make you feel invisible. So glad you have a support network to carry you!
