I had to go on without my mother, even though I was suffering terribly, grieving her.

You will learn a lot about yourself if you stretch in the direction of goodness, of bigness, of kindness, of forgiveness, of emotional bravery. Be a warrior for love.

What if I was never redeemed? What if I already was?

You have to say I am forgiven again and again until it becomes the story you believe about yourself.
