Nothing about this is beautiful?
She wouldn't understand though. She doesn't have to deal with this.

I came across a novel called Finding Alice by Melody Carlson, which is both tragic (her schizophrenia was devastating) and beautiful (the people she encountered in her life and her healing experience were very touching). I love the hope that the book inspires for me. I think there is a place for people to share their stories at some time, even if they are at a point in life where they aren't ready yet. (I'm not ready to share my story with the wider world either, for the time being)
