Bereavement Quote by Elizabeth Berrien

“I used to feel afraid of the future, always assuming the worst. But now I've realized that my worst fears have already happened, and I've survived them! I've walked into the fire and made it out alive. Only the loss of a close loved one could have "woken me up" to reality in the same way.” quote by Elizabeth Berrien — Download Open image
