still can’t believe the tragic event we have experienced. My heart feels heavy, and like many in our community, I am still trying to process it all. Life can change in a moment, and sometimes the pain people carry is far deeper than we could ever imagine.
Domestic violence is never acceptable. Never. No matter the reason, no matter the circumstance. If you are struggling, feeling overwhelmed, hurting, or feeling lost, please reach out. Speak to someone you trust, a friend, family member, a professional, or even seek help online. Asking for help is not weakness — it is strength.
And this is also a powerful reminder to all of us to stay kind, stay humble, and be gentle with one another. We never truly know what battles someone is facing behind closed doors. A smile, a kind word, a moment of compassion can mean more than we realise.
And to anyone living with domestic violence: please know you do not have to stay. You are worthy of safety, peace, and love. We need stronger education, more awareness, and more conversations around DV because enough is enough. It is not acceptable, and it never will be.
