Angels Borrowed, Not Kept
from New York Girl Again - The After · host New York Girl Again
Some people show up in your life exactly when you need them most. They pull you out of the quiet, heavy “after” of caregiving… breathe life back into your soul… and remind you—sometimes with nothing more than kind words—that you are still here. That you still matter. That joy is still possible. I call them earth angels. But sometimes they don’t stay. Some are only borrowed for a moment—just long enough to light a spark before moving on. And when they leave, it can feel like another devastating loss. In this episode, we’re talking about the people who hold out their hand when we’re sinking, the grief that comes when they’re gone, and the one truth you need to hold onto: their leaving doesn’t erase their gift—or your worth. Because sometimes, the angels we can’t keep are the ones who remind us we were never broken to begin with.
