As I watched my child struggle with an eating disorder, I felt a mix of emotions. I was deeply sad and afraid of losing her. But even in the midst of my despair, my love for my child remained strong. It helped me navigate through unfamiliar territory. I found comfort in a song that I listened to over and over again. It gave me strength and sparked hope that my child could get better. The lyrics, “I will send out an army to find you,” became my creed. I was determined to fight tirelessly for her recovery. I drew strength from my own resilience, the support of our close friends and family, and the healthcare professionals who helped us. The road to recovery is difficult, but it is possible. Embrace this belief with all your heart.
Do you have a book, a movie or a song that gives you strength? I would like to hear your voice, please share it with me.
“You are not hidden
There’s never been a moment
You were forgotten
You are not hopeless
Though you have been broken
Your innocence stolen
I hear you whisper underneath your breath
I hear your SOS, your SOS
I will send out an army to find you
In the middle of the darkest night
It’s true, I will rescue you
There is no distance
That cannot be covered
Over and over
You’re not defenseless
I’ll be your shelter
I’ll be your armor
I hear you whisper underneath your breath
I hear your SOS, your SOS
I will send out an army to find you
In the middle of the darkest night
It’s true, I will rescue you
I will never stop marching to reach you
In the middle of the hardest fight
It’s true, I will rescue you
I hear the whisper underneath your breath
I hear you whisper, you have nothing left
I will send out an army to find you
In the middle of the darkest night
It’s true, I will rescue you
I will never stop marching to reach you
In the middle of the hardest fight
It’s true, I will rescue you
Oh, I will rescue you”
