No Words, Only Tears resonated within my entire being from the moment I first decided to write this book. Tears, not words, more fittingly encapsulate my painful search for selfhood and wellness. For most of my life, tears spoke for me when I was too enmeshed in feelings and fears to express what had been my reality as I grew up. After years of struggle, I moved past emotions, and tears turned into words quite easily spoken. In them, I found strength and new hope. My path to find my true self, has wound its way precariously from accepting and healing the hurt child within me to the realization that I am, indeed, a person-a loved and loving child of God. In therapy, they say that "the only way out of our pain is through it." No Words, Only Tears is the story of my journey through the pain of depression to find a peace that only God can give.
