hold her. hear her. love her.
put a hand over her heart and let her know you are there with her.

help each other. stick together. support eachother. know that together you will be able ride out all the feelings that this event brings up.

trust that right now she needs to scream. trust that she won't need to scream forever, but right now she does.

know that things will be stirred up for a time, and remember (and use) self care strategies, comforts, grounding techniques.

stick together. help eachother.

instead of trying to get away from her screams, see if you can find at least one of you who can be with her in her screaming. sit with her.

remember that the ones who are not screaming all have a range of feelings too. stick together. help eachother.

rest. self care. support each other. love.
Thanks for this!

(((The silent scream)))
Just hold her if she will let you.
Just be there for her.
Just know that she is trying to release her pain.
Til then comfort the body to comfort all within.
And know that we are here for you.

((((kindergirl and the silent scream))))

Give her time and understanding. Reach out to her and accept her if she will let you. Speak softly to her so she knows you are there. Hold her and listen. If she needs to speak or to just silently scream it is okay right now. Let her know that she is loved and that what she feels is okay. Take time for both of you and give her comfort as she will allow. Just letting her know that you are there for her when she is ready.

Please do your self care and remember to ground with things that make you know it is safe and okay. Keep reaching here for we care and are here for you and we are listening. Sending gentle hugs and loving thoughts. Always.
