Here’s what shifted for me when I started to feel better:
💄Wearing make-up again.
🥹Crying less.
✍️Writing letters to animals I’d lost.
🧘‍♀️Feeling calmer, steadier, stronger.

Your quiet strength, your daily sacrifices, your relentless care...they matter more than words can say. 💔🐾

That's great news.
