It Is so easy to blame people, times, situations; to stay in ābrokennessā. You can milk grief FOREVERā¦. The problem, that is all you wake up to, experience things with, and go to bed with each nightā¦ itās lonely. It will NEVER leave. This book, Itās the first step towards the transformation of me, in my healing (and Im 50, so thats A LOT of healing to do!). I read this book all in one sitting. Its not written as a āstoryā, itās written by several people, writing about their own stories, their own struggles, and their own pain; sharing it all, calling each of us out. We know when something isnāt good for us; we waste energy that could be put to much more productive areas of our lives.
Having read this cover to cover, in one sitting, (because I couldnāt just ā sit ā with a thought), I will now break it down in much smaller pieces, and actually digest each lesson. I saw myself on every pageā¦ in every story, and I donāt want to stay there! Iām seeing a lot of sticky notes, and positive affirmations in my future!
Thank you for your honesty and transparency, you have TRULY just changed my life, my perspective, and told me that Iām not ādamagedā, or ācursedā, that i donāt have to stay āstuckā in being āthat girlā in a relationship, almost begging someone to love me the way I love them, or āthat daughterā that everyone tiptoes around sine the loss of my parents, still finding myself trying to overcome an inability to find myself, my future, without them, that I feel that I am ābetrayingā them in a way, even though I know this isnāt what theyād want for me; āthat motherā in my inability to stay out of my grown childrenās relationships, trying desperately to protect them FROM these exact stories of pain and disappointments, and seeing that what I am REALLY doing, is preventing their growth, and I NEVER would have seen it that way.
Take the timeā¦ this book is for EVERY human experience ā¦.
Iām actually excited for my journey of self-love, in bite size pieces... there are going to be a LOT of tears, but Iām hoping the woman I find on the other side, is happy, healthy, and grateful.
I couldnāt have found this book at a more appropriate time in my life.
