An angel in the north.
Majestic in the warm glow.
Our angel Elaine was the same, yet tarnished and ultimately felled by a light too harsh.
The blight of mental illness coupled with harsh self-criticism. The whispers, there or not, roared in her ears. Too much the stigma, the misunderstanding. Non-understanding. The lack of help.
“It’s your fault” she thought they said..
And now the pain endures, the cycle repeats.
If only, at least, the stigma could be removed..
I’m running the Edinburgh Marathon on 24/5/25 to change mental health.
