Brittany Latham in an American photographer that recently went viral for letting women across the world know they’re not alone. These are her powerful words…

 

Brittany Latham has been taking beautiful pictures for years now but every once in a while, she shares equally beautiful words along with the images she shares.

More recently she shared a post that was so powerful, it went viral in a matter of hours. We read through the post and were moved by it. She stands with every woman who has ever felt pain or who don’t feel strong enough. This one is for the women of the world!

Take a read below,

“For the woman whose husband makes an “extra stop” after work every evening.

For the woman who is mourning the loss of a pregnancy that nobody else knew about.

For the woman who was fired for her fourth tardy because she has been awake for a straight week with a sick child.

For the single mom who doesn’t know how the utilities are going to stay on this month.

For the woman who has gone through 2 IVF’s and has tried for five years without success but still shows up to every baby shower for her friends.

For the woman who still hasn’t forgiven herself for the abortion that she had 20 years ago.

For the woman who has a line of judging eyes at her and her children as she slides her ebt card at the grocery store.

For the woman that opens the door to the news of her husband being killed overseas three weeks before he was to return home.

For the woman that lives a with a quiet anxiety because nobody understands what you could possibly stressed about.

For the woman that gives to her family all day- every day and just.needs.a.break.

For the woman that smiles at strangers all day in public- but weeps silently every night.

For the woman that heard the rumour about herself at church today.

For the woman sleeping next to a stranger every night.

For the woman whose genetics will never allow her to look like the ones in the magazines.

For the woman that endures one broken relationship after another because there was no father around to teach her what love looks like.

For the woman raising a fatherless daughter and praying that history doesn’t repeat itself.

For every single woman that cries in the shower so that nobody else can see. Because if you aren’t strong-nobody is.

Just because the water washes your tears doesn’t mean that you don’t cry.

I am you. I see you. I am with you, I cry with you.”
