Hello PC friends,
some of you may know from another thread that my significant other and I experienced intense trauma recently. It honestly feels like suddenly starring in a horror film but we don't know when the film will end. PC folks have responded to my trauma posts with astounding grace, insight, and empathy. That is beautiful and I am deeply grateful. In addition, three relatives (I grew up in a highly dysfunctional family) have responded to news of our trauma with kindness and love. They cannot be with us in person but their empathy means a great deal to us.
I share this because I know that a lot of members here have experienced trauma's pain, fear, and loss. I wanted to share something beautiful which can arise from it. I hope it happens for each of you.
And please know that I am not in any way trying to suggest that trauma is a desirable or easy experience. I am not negating or diminishing your pain and sorrows. I only want to provide you with hope and solace.
Take good care of yourselves
"Hope"
