My name is Ivory Parker, I’m sixteen years old and I can honestly say that I know what a broken heart feels like. It is the loneliest and most desperate feeling like nothing you’ll ever experience before. It is not being able to stop crying and knowing that even when you do stop, the pain of loss is still there and that nothing has changed. It is wishing you were anywhere but where you are and anyone but whom you are. It is disbelief that you could go from happy and secure too alone and left behind in a second. It is confusion and a head full of questions but no-one to answer them truthfully. It is all those plans and dreams made, gone. It is indescribably appalling and no amount of kind words can lift you out of your grief. It is the inevitability of it all and the fact that you have no say. It is having to carry on working, doing the day to day essential chores and feeling totally separated from your life. It is exhausting and it will take the time it takes for you to recover and be strong enough to trust and take a chance on someone else again.
In simpler words?
It’s life changing.
