The Ashford Stories. Book One
She was always the one who held everything together.
The one people called.
The one who showed up.
The one who never said no.
At work, Tina is dependable.
At home, she carries more than anyone realizes.
She tells herself it is temporary.
That things will slow down.
That there will be more time.
There is not.
When loss comes quietly, it does not shatter her life all at once. It settles in.
In the silence.
In the routine.
In the spaces where she used to say, I will stay longer tomorrow.
But tomorrow does not come the way she expected.
Now everything feels different.
Her home no longer feels like hers.
Her days keep moving, but something inside her has stopped.
And for the first time, Tina is forced to face a question she has spent years avoiding:
What happens when the person everyone depends on can no longer carry it all?
Going Through It is a deeply emotional, slow-burning story about grief, burnout, and the quiet, painful process of learning to see yourself again.
For every woman who has ever said I am fine when she was not...
This story will stay with you.
