Thank you, BM. I wish peace for you as well for these holidays. I will jump to your thread to see how you are doing.
I have been reading posts from the archives... Just following amazing people who have travelled these painful paths we are now in and get to see their growth and strength as they heal.
Here is a post from a woman that I absolutely admire. It talks about forgiveness and empathy:
"If I want to keep my heart open to H, how do I still heal, and do this? Counselor's answer was you can't. Move forward 1 hour to church. I think I have the answer: Yes you can. Forgiveness and empathy. An evolved state where you can be happy and healed, and still leave the path home paved with possibilities."
I loved it. I am really focusing on how to continue keeping the hope alive, detach and heal. How to move away from hurt and anger and move into the space I need to be for me, my kids and hopefully the restoration of my marriage. Forgiveness and empathy... Will work on that more and more.
And I wanted to share it here as well.
