Have you ever felt alone in your personal afflictions and hardships? Are you guilty of scrutinizing the relationships of those around you or those you see on social media, only to be let down because the highlight reels give you the impression that others' lives are picture-perfect? My prayer is that this brief memoir of a challenging familial relationship I'm experiencing will serve as a source of comfort and encouragement to you. You are not alone It doesn't matter who you are; we all encounter various challenges and pain. Just live long enough and it's bound to happen. Your trials do not define you unless you choose for them to define you. Use them instead to strengthen you and help you to persevere. Have faith that we can use our burdens to help ourselves and others endure THROUGH the difficult periods of life.Have you ever felt alone in your personal afflictions and hardships?
