Hi there and welcome!

So sorry, Lauren. Been there, I promise. I like your quote about grief and love, how true. Lost my mother to a car accident by a fellow who T-boned her small car and there's nothing worse than seeing your mom's body lying out on some dirty sidewalk. Pure grief for seems a year, then the healing began because of our natures, we do, in fact, change with time although it's hard to believe we ever will when the pain and loss is so horrific. I was even angry at God and told my pastor so. He said "That's ok". It was comforting to hear those words and know I was not all alone. I have also lost a husband due to his immoral decisions and it hurt until some time had passed. During time that has passed, I began to be happy again due to new circumstances that came into my life and a very slow recognition that I no longer ached for something or someone who brought pain. Be patient as it takes time, but so often, these losses are replaced with things so much better for our lives. It's just so terribly hard to envision sunshine on our cloudy days. Sometimes we are not forsaken, but enlightened to be willing to endure the loss and grief for so much more that's awaiting for us in our lifetime.

Thank you for all your responses!! I have weathered the storm and got through ALL the emotions of a break up in a healthy way thanks to the trauma training I have received. Happy smile. Alas, I am in the midst of a PTSD triggered storm that SUCKS! Sigh. So now I am engaging with this community and am so very grateful for the opportunity!! Cheers!
