Milestones, Interrupted

This feeling of dread, these are supposed to be times excitement and celebrations.
All to be suddenly taken away, like a rug ripped out under our feet.
Will this scar me, or make me stronger?
Just the not knowing causes this vicious cycle to seem never ending.
Being alive should be a sliver of hope, but yet it seems like just existing.
Hopefully, this, will be just yet another test, and this page will soon be turned.
I’m ready for my new chapter.
