Just a letter
Dear Gina,
Normally, after reading another book about you, I would be writing a little review about that my thoughts were on the book. But this time, this time I decided to write you a short letter instead. I just finished book 5 and your story has touched me deeply. I just wanted to let you know you should be so proud of yourself. You have been staying strong for so long, after suffering so much. It seems like you felt you had to carry all the weight all on your own. Even though you shared some bits and pieces throughout the books, you never shared what was really weighing down on you. Until this book. Every case made you remind your past, every case put pressure on you to keep everything buried deep down. And this book just hurt... To read about you disciplining yourself, not deserving to cry, talking down on yourself, shutting everyone and everything down, meanwhile getting overwhelmed by all the memories. The triggers just don't seem to stop.. And from the very first part of these series, I hoped you would find a safe place, a place where you could let go.
Briggs entered your life very early on but you kept pushing him away. Nevertheless he was there to be your rock. and in this 5th part, you finally, finally opened up. This case made you take the step to open up. And it was painful, yes so freeing to watch. Sometimes, you have to hit rock-bottom in order to get up again. I have been there, maybe I am still there. And Gina, you gave me a place to recognize myself in someone. Even though our stories are different, our struggles resemble. And I am so lgad, that in the end, Briggs was there when you broke down. I don't know what the future holds, but in this book, you made steps towards healing, and it was so freeing to see you take that first step. And the next step, by contacting your daughter again, living again.
I hope, in the next books, we'll see you heal your heart, your relationships, yourself. Yould be an example of one of those people who made it. And I am looking forward to seeing your journey. Now it is your time to heal, to grow and re-invent yourself. We saw the darkness in you take over, now it's time to let the light back in.
Just remember Gina, crying is not weak, it's a sign you've been trying to stay strong for way too long. Please let yourself be loved and cared for. Please let Briggs be your friend, your rock. You deserve the best.
Lots of love and support,
