I am not okay.
Fifteen months ago, my life was turned upside down when the plane I was piloting went down. Injured and trapped in the wreckage, I had to watch my fiancΓ©e die a painfully slow death, which is something that can really mess with your head.
Since that day, Iβve had little desire to do much of anything. Except play hockey, that is. Because that is the one place where the bad memories are banished and I can escape my pain.
But off the ice, Iβm spiraling out of control. Losing the grip on my life and putting myself and my career in danger. Now, thanks to a string of bad decisions, Iβve been ordered to complete therapy in order to stay on the team.
The problem? Nora Wayne, my beautiful and somewhat unconventional therapist. I canβt buy into the brand of happy clappy crap this woman is feeding me. What could she possibly understand about the type of loss that Iβve suffered? How does she know anything about finding happiness after losing the most important person in your life?
Turns out, Iβve got a lot to learn, and sheβs just the person I need to break through those walls Iβve erected.
I am not okay.
But for the first time in a long time, I know that I will be.
