I have found sharing painful stories helps the healing process. It still takes time. Some events are burnt into our souls, they impact us powerfully, so much that they never stop hurting. Through time we just learn how to carry those feelings though our lives and reach out to people when we need help and to reach out and help others when they are suffering.
You are stronger than you think and have been gifted great wisdom at the cost of your pain. I will be reading and listening. I am here
much love
