Before It Gets Lighter

"She said, It might get worse before it gets better.

I didn't want her to be right. She was."

In this collection of short prose, songwriter Christa Wells shares the gifts given to her through her winter of grief, the aspects of sorrow which drew her into a deeper and less fragile experience of life and relationship. Written in tandem with the release of her song, Lighter From Here, these glimpses into her journey offer touchstones for those who may not yet see light on the horizon.
