New Here
Hello,

I'm new here and I'm looking desperate for help.

My girlfriend and I we are winemakers and travel around the world working, she is from France and I'm from Chile.

Everything start in May this year when in the place were we worked decided to let her go and keep me. Our plan was that Ill stay working for 1 extra month and then fly to France to travel for start working later but sadly my dad was diagnose with Cancer so I came back to Chile. She start having so many troubles with her family that more than once pass trough her mind put and end to all, but I was always there for her to talk and it break my heart not be able to be with her. That was the beginning of the worst, she was suffering so much day after day in a way so hard, and then when she start working the environment make it worst. At the same time I found a job for me 40min from her, so after arrange all the treatment of my dad I depart to her, but it was too late now. She was working 7 day a week from 6am to 11pm with no chance to see each other or talk, beside in the place of work they treat her so bad, leaving her in the ground every day.

Finally this Sunday she came to me, but she is a different person. After suffer so much and the stress of the work, in order to keep going she had to make all her feelings disappear and now she is unable of show any feeling. She tells me that she knows that I'm important for her, she knows she miss me and she knows she love me but is unable to show me, that her body is cold and she will need time to heal.

I'm heartbroken and I want to help her so much but I do not know how. Please from the bottom of my heart, help me to help her, I know my bebe is there but she is so broken and it breaks my heart.

Please help us!

Hi Christian. So sorry for what you are going through. For me, it is harder to watch someone going through this than to go through it myself. It makes me want to get out my tool box and fix their lives for them. Alas, I do not believe I have the power to fix myself, much less anyone else. Healing is a mystery which comes from places I will never know. Not in this life, anyway.

sympathy and votes of confidence are the best medicine I have found for this. Just use the precious moments you have with her to let her know you care and believe in her ability to work it out on her own.

And continue reaching out for help for yourself. You are in a tough spot and holding yourself steady is important.
