Missing someone isn’t about how long it’s been since you’ve seen them last or the amount of time since you last talked. It’s about that very moment when you’re doing something and you wish that they were right there with you.

Abuse takes place in an environment of secrecy and silence. In order to heal, it’s critical for survivors to talk about their abuse. The survivor can tell one person or a thousand, but the crucial thing is to let the secret out and to share the truth of your experience with at least one caring, loving, responsive listener. Otherwise, you continue to live with the horror of the experience alone.

Then, Éowyn of Rohan, I say to you that you are beautiful. In the valleys of our hills there are flowers fair and bright, and maidens fairer still; but neither flower nor lady have I seen till now in Gondor so lovely, and so sorrowful. It may be that only a few days are left ere darkness falls upon our world, and when it comes I hope to face it steadily; but it would ease my heart, if while the Sun yet shines, I could see you still. For you and I have both passed under the wings of the Shadow, and the same hand drew us back.
