This isn't a story about grief.
It's about what happens after your life breaks in ways you didn't even know were possible...
and you're still expected to keep going.
Joanna survived a childhood marked by abuse and silence, learning early that survival would be her only option.
Then she found love.
Seventeen years of it.
A life that finally felt steady.
Until one morning at 9:20, he said, "I love you."
And ten minutes later... he was gone.
What followed wasn't just grief-
it was survival layered on top of survival.
Loss. Trauma. Fear.
And somehow... still being here.
Raw, unfiltered, and deeply human, Still Here is a story about carrying everything you've been through...
and learning how to live anyway.
