Quote: I hope to hear from some of the people who have been at this a lot longer than I have, that eventually I won't have flashes of reminders everyday. I hope to know that eventually, there won't be an ache in my heart and a catch in my breath whenever those thoughts come.
I can personally respond simply because I'm no where near this myself. I can only relay the words of an inspiratonal woman who once frequented this forum (Matilda) ... those flashes won't ever disappear, but they will occur less and less. As time goes on, it may become only be a couple times a year or so that your mind may wander back to the scars.
After living thru receiving those wounds, the recovery and surviving to see better times ... revisiting those memories for a couple of moments each year is somthing I'm guessing we can live with?!
In a way, it all kinda irrelavent ... even if we let it destroy our M's and we parted ways, those scars still wouldn't be forgotten or be any less painful then they are now. I guess we should work at taking solice that it was the catalyst that turn it all around for the better for the most part.
