It may be one of the hardest things to explain or help those who knew you to understand. Where the old you went. We know, but usually do not have the words to get that story across. We knew we were changed, forever changed, the moment our tragedy hit us. Those around us think it is a temporary thing. They believe that the us they knew will step forward with time.

Alone each night and during the day
Holding back all I want to say
I'm not all right, things aren't ok
