Fight Faithfully

I wrote this book with raw emotions and stories to show anyone facing an invisible illness of any kind that he or she is not alone. My personal conditions are centered on endometriosis, infertility, and loss, but that does not necessarily mean that you need to be experiencing the pain of those three for this book to help you. I have a dream that one day everyone can feel known, seen, and understood no matter what battle they might be facing. Everyone has a story to tell, and I wanted to share mine with the world with a prayer to help at least one person see that he or she does not have to go through the uphill battle alone. If you are anything like me, you have more people in your life that do not understand you than the ones that do. Cling to the ones that get you—the ones that really understand your pain and do not fault you for the uncontrollable things that may come your way. If I can pass down any advice, it would be two things. First, once you set your mind to something, stick with it. Stand strong and know that in times where you feel alone, all it takes is speaking up, and you will see there are many people out there not all that different than yourself. Second, do not try too hard to get empathy from everyone in your life. People can only give what they have. The same goes for empathy. Those who do not possess it cannot hand it out.


Always remember that the faithful fight really boils down to the strength it takes to keep fighting when no one can see your pain.
