Hi Wander,
I can feel the sincerity and Truth in your post.
I am very sorry for the sense of trauma and loss.
I honestly believe we are given opportunities to grow as we deal with great challenges. Sometimes our hearts break wide open, truly challenging us to live with wide-open hearts. Our "soul growth" and sharing may be our significant accomplishment as well as our major contribution to society.
You have an amazing heart which comes through, loud and clear every time I read one of your posts. I benefit greatly.
Thank you!
