"If you asked her how she was feeling, and she felt safe and comfortable being brutally honest, she would say...'it feels like my soul left my body. I feel hollow and broken, as if there's a large gaping hole left where it was. I'm a shell of the person I once was. That's how I feel'. But she won't say that. Oh no. She'll say....'I'm fine, thank you for asking'.--©Michele McKenna, Simple Elegance
