   Details    Category: [Inspirations](https://eatingdisorderrecovery.net/table/help-yourself/inspirations/)  *There is a brokenness  
 out of which comes the unbroken.   
 There is a shatteredness  
 out of which blooms the unshatterable.   
 There is sorrow beyond all grief,   
 which leads to joy; and a fragility  
 out of whose depths emerges strength.   
 There is a hollow space too vast for words  
 through which we pass with each loss,   
 out of whose darkness  
 we are sanctioned into being. .*  
 Rashani
