There was the undeniable evidence staring back at me in picture after picture, video after video, message after message. I felt numb, yet simultaneously felt punched in the gut as it wrenched, pressure crushing my chest, and anguish in my mind as it tried to process the inconceivable. The responses from the counselors I turned to left me as close to devastated and feeling hopeless as the discoveries themselves, and left me questioning if I really wanted to live in this world that no longer made any
