"Their clocks are very, very slow, unlike ours. It has taken years for them to get where they are today and it's going to take some time for them to work through those childhood issues, learn to accept the things that they weren't responsible for and come to understand that they were children and couldn't do a thing about whatever happened and learn to accept that they are good people and have people who love them in the here and now. Dig deeper for patience, compassion and understanding" - Job (quote from Reconciliation - hardball vs softball)
My husband is on another planet where it has it's own clocks, I can prove this and it takes like forever for him to move forward. I can't help wondering when he is going to landing on earth... my wondering gets me to nowhere. One thing I could do for myself is moving on my pace, going straight on my won.
It's 7 years after my grandmother's death and it's 4.5 years after bomb dropped and it's 4 years after he moved out.
For every 5-8 months, I can feel the progress. To me each step is tiny but for him I don't know if it is huge... Recently he texted me gentle and nicely. I appreciate it a lot !
