Anna shook her head gently, offering the woman a soft smile that radiated warmth and understanding. "It feels complicated right now," she said, her voice steady, "but there's always a way through. I know it seems like no matter what you do, you'll lose. But that's not the truth. You're stronger than you think, and you've already survived more than most people ever will."
The woman stayed silent, her hands trembling slightly, the weight of her situation pressing down on her visibly. Anna could see the turmoil in her eyes—the fear, the frustration, the exhaustion of trying to keep it together while everything else fell apart. She knew that kind of pain all too well, but she also knew that words of hope could be the first step toward healing.
