Silencing the Inner Monsters

Grief is one of the most challenging experiences we can have. In THE RAW TRUTH: A Widow’s Journey, Autumn Brown shares her personal story of loss and the difficult emotions that followed.

This heartfelt book is more than just a journey of mourning—it’s about finding strength, facing inner battles, and discovering hope even in the darkest times.

When Autumn lost her spouse, her world was turned upside down. Suddenly, she was left with a mix of overwhelming emotions, many of which came as “monsters.”

These monsters weren’t real creatures; they were negative thoughts, anger, resentment, and the urge to blame others. These feelings pushed her to question everything—her faith, purpose, and ability to move forward. As Autumn shares in her book, these monsters can feel real, making it hard to imagine life without them.

But THE RAW TRUTH is not just about suffering; it’s about fighting to overcome those feelings. Autumn didn’t let the monsters control her life. Instead, she fought back. She began replacing the anger and negativity with positive thoughts and actions.

One way she found peace was by leaning into faith—reading self-help books, cookbooks, and stories that focused on hope and love. As she filled her mind with uplifting thoughts, the monsters grew quieter and quieter.

Autumn also found healing in doing good for others. By helping those in need, she found purpose and a sense of relief from her pain. Charity work allowed her to focus on others, bringing her a slight feeling of peace during her grief.

Even though there were moments when jealousy and anger still crept in, she pushed through, learning that the more she fought against these dark emotions, the more power she took away from them.

A simple white candle was one of the most important symbols in her journey. Autumn believes the white light represents hope and the ability to chase away the darkness. Whenever she felt overwhelmed, she would light the candle, reminding herself that no matter how tough things got, there was always light ahead.

The message in THE RAW TRUTH is clear: While grief and loss are unavoidable, we can control how we respond to them. We can choose to face the monsters, replace their negativity with positivity, and never lose sight of the light. Autumn’s journey reminds us that even in our deepest pain, we have the power to heal, grow, and move forward.
