Let’s be clear—survivors are not required to be inspirational. Healing isn’t linear. Some days will be harder than others. What matters is that, even in pain, there is strength. Even in silence, there is dignity. And in every survivor, there is the potential for wholeness.

There will be steps forward and steps back. There will be days where the pain resurfaces and days where joy feels real again. That’s normal. Survivors aren’t broken—they’re human. With the right tools, support, and understanding, healing is not just a hope—it’s a process that’s already underway.
