Brittany Nicole Gromley for her Family's financial strain.

Brittany Nicole Gromley

It saddens me to imagine waking up tomorrow without you. This is how so many of your loved ones are feeling right now. Brittany gained her wings to join her Heavenly Family that she held so dear to her heart. Carter, I know you were so excited to walk Mommy home where she can relax and enjoy a painless life that she deserves. Not a day passed by that she didn't wonder and imagine what kind of shenanigans you guys would be up to. Brittany's kindness and selflessness will not go unrecognized. If only she could have seen through our eyes what she brought to the table. If you met her for 5 minutes or 5 hours, she left such a memorable impression with you that you could never forget. She made sure you never felt like a stranger again. Brittany made holidays, whoever's birthday it may be, or any special occasion recognized and was celebrated and honored. Always putting everyone first. Brittany was strong, resilient, and overflowed with love, while she was barely holding on inside and still trying to maintain this image. When the whole time, she was needing comfort, compassion, appreciation, and to feel the type of unconditional love that she effortlessly spread to everyone around her.

Even the strong get weak and need to rest. Brittany wouldn't ask, bother, or burden anyone with any issues she may have going on. She would handle it however she could at that moment.

I know all of us are wishing that she could have reached out to one of us. It breaks my heart imagining the weight she has been carrying around for so long. Most days are manageable, but it's those "other" days that beat you down. They seem like they won't end. They get heavier and heavier. You ask yourself how and why it never seems to lighten up. These days get closer and closer. It's not just every once in a while. It becomes every day you wake up and open your eyes, and before your feet even hit the floor, the fight begins. It just wears you out.

Our beautiful Babygirl was just too tired to go on. She thought she was too broken to fix. She saw so many broken pieces of herself and it was too overwhelming for her to see she was worth fighting for. She just wanted the pain to stop; she needed for it to go away. She did not want to go backwards. She was not letting all the work she put into her recovery be discredited. She was very proud of herself.

It hurts so bad that she thought and felt this was the only answer. How alone and scared she must have been feeling. It's so heartbreaking.

Brittany is leaving behind her two daughters, Leah Cain and Honesty Gromley. Brittany was such an amazing Mommy to them. She loved them more than life itself. She was proud of every accomplishment and milestone that they have conquered so far. She always reminded the girls of all the qualities and values they are made of. To always be confident and proud of their self-worth. They have so much to offer and contribute in this world. These two young ladies are going to have some very hard and trying times ahead of them. There are too many "Once in a Lifetime" and "Firsts" yet to come that they may have to look upon any of us to help fulfill their special events. We can never make it go away, but we can help fill the emptiness that is happening. Soften it a bit.

As you already can imagine, having a teenager and a first grader is pretty costly at times. If we could come together during this devastating time to help lighten some of the financial adjustment that Brittany's mother is going to have to endure, your donation will be gratefully appreciated. Between funeral costs, expenses for the girls, loss of wages during this time, and the holidays right around the corner, we need to do our best to make it a little less stressful for them. Thank you in advance.
