There are many people who question if I have really gotten over what happened. We have to remember that most people base their assumptions on their own experiences. We need to listen to their concerns... evaluate them to see if there might be any truth... before we can dismiss it. But, ultimately only we know our truth... we do know it... we must be honest with ourselves and adjust accordingly.
As for "dealing" with the pain, they were not with me in the darkness... they were not with me as I cried on my way to work, they were not with me when I cried on the way home from work. They were not with me with I doubled over, on my knees, dry heaving up the pain.... pain that made noises come from the depths of my soul. Noises that are not human and yet they were coming from me! Never let anyone deny your reality... your existence. Never let anyone dictate your reality... your existence.
We must also remember in these times that most people do mean well. They have their own battles they are fighting. Remember to give them grace. Remember to give yourself grace.
One of my favorite verses in hard times... "This too shall pass".
