You Are Not Average:
Rising from the Depths of
Loss to the Heights of Love
By Dr. Marlyn S. Wright
Life is a journey filled with peaks and valleys, triumphs and trials.
Through my own experiences, I’ve learned that resilience isn’t just a word—it’s a way of life. It’s a mindset that allows us to rise above what life throws at us, reminding us that we are not average.
In 2016, my world shattered with the sudden loss of my eldest son. Just three years later, my heart broke again with the passing of my late husband.
These tragedies brought me to the brink of despair, plunging me into a battle with grief and depression. As a pastor, I was called to uplift and lead others while secretly feeling as though I was drowning in my own pain.
