I understand how brutal it is when someone comes along and the sheer depth and volume of their emotional state overpowers all else. I also understand how amazing and powerful it is that she felt safe enough to come forward during t. That speaks volumes to me and suggests that you have done a wonderful job of creating a sense of safety for those in you who need it most. She was there for the duration of t; that seems so very big to me. Such strength that took on her part. Such strength it takes on your part, not only to endure it, but to speak on it as well. I congratulate you all. Perhaps this comes as little consolation as you live through this, but live through it you do. Your strength lives on. I am pulling for you that things settle down soon and that you may find bits of peace, self comfort, in the midst of this.
