A lot of people who suffer, do so in silence.

When I was really heavily blogging on ITW and OD, there was a woman I followed who wrote really consistently about the struggles she faced after losing her daughter. She drowned in the bathtub. The woman had stepped away, just for a moment. That's all it took, just a moment. Of course it was ruled an accident eventually, but also, of course, she was judged, a lot. She went on to have more children eventually. And she talked about the struggles of parenting them, her mental health, the strains on her marriage, etc. She was a really wonderful writer and person. And I always hurt for her, the comments she would get, because of course you can imagine the people who followed her just to leave nasty messages.

As open as she was about her struggles, I always wondered, what doesn't she say?
