One Day I Hope For Peace

[shimmerz]

NO they did not kill me, they just killed my dreams, they stole my everything, They took what is and always will be the most dearest things close to m,y heart.

Laurie, I could have written this myself. My children, gone. My life, gone. My dreams? What dreams? And I wouldn't let that percolate through me for a very long time. Because it was so painful that there were no words to describe it. It surrounded me. Contaminated me.

And then there was a day. I was exhausted I think. I slid down the wall and I just cried my heart out. I stopped fighting for just long enough to feel it. It was terrifying. But for just a while I had to feel at least a part of it. Fight, yes. But take short breaks to let it out too. I honour your journey.

You have a ton of grief in there Laurie. If you can't be kind to yourself - you just let me know. I will be on call for you. Walking with you..... :hug:

Hi Laurie,

I've just returned, after an unavoidable absence, to my beloved home, here.
May I say "Hi", and give you a :hug:?
(From one wounded soul to another?). May you find comfort and renewed strength.
