((((jewels))))

First thank you for keeping us updated on how you are doing. I know it is really difficult work and that it is full of pain and hurt, but you are doing what you need to do to heal. I am so proud of you for taking this step and getting the help you need and deserve.

Sometimes it gets so much harder before it gets better. Kinda like an infected area that has to be cleaned out befroe it can heal. It takes so much to do this work and to keep at it but you are doing it. I see you growing a little more with each step you take.

Sometimes it is the littliest steps that are tnhe hardest but they are also the steps that many times begin the sterps to healing and getting where we need to be. Take it one minute, one second at a time if you need to. For it took us a long time to get where we are now and it will take time to get out.

Remember to take good care of yourself and to give yourself breaks where you can. This is really hard work and it drains you. You deserve kindness and selfcare as you walk through this. Know that we are here cheering you on and walking with you so you are not alone.

We are here if you ever need to talk or just want someone to sit with We are only a PM away and you are welcome to write anytime you need to or just want to. We love you our friends and are so proud of you and are pulling for you. Sending genlte hugs and loving thoughts. Always.
