I remember very early in my grief feeling the immense pain deep in my heart, my head, my stomach, my face, my eyes swollen from tears, I thought how can I have any tears left? When or will I ever feel ok again. No one around me understands. They sympathize with me but how can they possibly understand. What happened to the person I use to be. I had worked so hard and been through so much to finally become the person I was. I, for once in my life had finally liked the girl looking back at me in the mirror and in a flash, a moment I didn't even see coming, she was gone. My work to become a new person once again had just begun. I don't even know if I'll even like her. No one could understand that now, I was not only in pain but my whole being just changed. It wasn't until I came to meet two ladies one Saturday afternoon on a warm bright sunny day, who had also been through tragic loss, that I FINALLY felt someone understood. They knew every gut wrenching word I spoke to them. They just stood there and listened as my words came falling off my tongue through the air and swarming around their ears like bees making honey. I honestly don't even remember if my words made sense but each time they nodded their head as if someone, someone finally understood. It was at that moment I realized my journey back to healing was going to need to include this group type of camaraderie. Join us a our retreat and you WILL finally be around someone who understands. #grief #brokenheart #retreat #healing #hopehugsimocc
