I Express Myself Through Writing

Sadness hit me today like bricks raining down. Considering this is usually a sad time of the year for me, I was actually doing very well this season, until...an hour ago. Someone wrote the most innocuous thing, and it touched a place in me, so deep and so raw that I didn’t know it still existed. I thought I’d dealt with it – but no – loss was just laying beneath the surface, waiting to rise up like a silent running submersible breaking through the murky depths into consciousness. Now I feel the heaviness of sadness and loss. It robs my energy, and I just want to withdraw from the harshness of reality, and go back inside myself. I’m losing perspective. I need silence and rest. I don’t want to celebrate Christmas. I want to go away, and come back when it’s all over.

I’m sorry to hear that as no one should have to deal with sadness or any kind of heavy heart this time of year. I pray for a quick healing for all who have to deal with unpleasant thoughts at this time.

Thank you.@SageWanderer
I am in the same boat re Christmas.🤗😒

About loss, you have to absolutely go back and face that loss, in all its bare ugliness...it will take a few weeks, or months....but it's the only way to heal, my friend. 😔🤗

Make peace with it and find a Church group or healing group that will be there with you in this journey. (((Hugs)))
