A Life of Trauma and Tragedy (Possibly Triggering Content)

Re: A Life of Trauma and Tragedy (Possibly Triggering Content)

Good morning my beautiful sister,

@Emelia8 

I want nothing more right now than to wrap you up and take care of you. I am aware that you are a giver and rarely take. Please start to, you need to sweetheart. Take up every offer you receive of help and support during this awful time. If someone can drive you home, let them, PLEASE. If someone wants to cook you a meal and drop it in, accept it. Start saying yes, and don't think about how it may inconvenience them. They are offering from their heart and their love for you. This is going to be a difficult road and grief is sadly one you know all too well. I cannot begin to imagine your next few days, my heart is in little pieces for you Em. I want nothing more than to pack my bag and be at your house to help you through this, so while that is not possible please lean on all of us, we are all with you in spirit holding you up when you feel as though you can't hold yourself up. I love you so very much dear Em and I am so sorry Heart

Everything will feel strange for a while Em, it's like a very bad dream. Humans are programmed to love eternal, not this death thing. I had to get rid of the chair my girl last sat in. Many memories will come, good and bad. Do you know the 23rd Psalm "ya though I walk through the valley of death, i will fear no evil, for thou art with me..." Ancient writings record it as a valley you must pass through in life. One of shadows and dark thoughts, a path where there is no view and little sunshine. A valley. But remember that even the darkest deepest valleys do open up to the light eventually. Just do what ya gotta do each day, the basics, and you'll get through xox

Oh @Former-Member 

Hugs and hugs. I am so sorry this is all too familiar to you 😞 your beautiful little girl 😞

Re: A Life of Trauma and Tragedy (Possibly Triggering Content)

Thank you @Anastaasia - it is hard, but also a healing to be able to help a little. I hope I am and not talking too much again (my worst trait - rambling on). The point is, somehow we do survive. If I can anyone can anyone can get through 🤗
So much harder when we already have broken wing to start with though (MI) xox

Dearest @Emelia8 ,

he was very ill and his heart could do it no more. 

You do have family who love you, and holly and friends and all of us . I know we are not there in life for you. But we love and admire you 

and are wrapping our arms around you

@Emelia8 I realise you have so much to deal with at the moment and reading these messages is probably one of the last things on your mind.

We are all thinking of you and are here for you whenever you need us.

Sending a ton of love and hugs to you.
