Megan - "We take responsibility for our healing.” In the work of growth and maturation, what you name is a hard lesson to carry, but the cost of avoiding it, as you know, is greater suffering over time. To walk the path of healing, as you describe, is a worthy undertaking. I honor both the love that has been lost and the love that has taken shape, and the enduring human effort to remain kind within the texture of everyday life.
So true, Bronce. It's a difficult lesson… and it always seems to come through the compounding of hardship, when we realize that carrying the weight is harder than the difficulty of learning to put it down. A little at a time, with the help of loving hands supporting us. Thank goodness we have each other, right?!

Thank you for your gentle and loving reflection.
Indeed my friend, for we all need others even when we don't to.
Thank you for the clarity of your path.
