It only promises tomorrow will be further away from the pain.

But it is a lie.

Give it your all, because you believe it matters to those who are afraid.

God bless those who give all and try.

And never forget those who have.

Very true. Thanks for posting.

Words too live by. Thanks for reminding us.

Aye. Looking for what does, not finding it.

"That, which does not kill you, makes you stronger"...but the scars last forever, and serve to both remember and remind.

Like rings on a tree, growing around a wound. The scars never leave.

I'm not positive, but I think that "sir" is a "ma'am."

Nor does time wound all heels, but karma gets many.

The Monkey is wise.

Amen.

I can say from experience, that therapy helps a lot of people with trauma. It is important to find someone with compassion and knowledge. All of us have resilience.

Did anything in particular bring this on?

^^^^^^^^
I suspect you may want to ask Sigmonkey. It may be a matter he wishes to keep private.

Sigmonkey...you are spot on my friend...and it doesn’t take much to open that wound

but time does allow for a much bigger ,overall picture.

Think of that picture that will never seem to heal over , and then add to that picture all that you have accomplished ,

and add again to that picture all those that you have helped along the way,
and then add yet again those that have it still worse than you and

then add again to the now very big picture the choices you have made because of what you went through .

No the scar is still there , but you have the advantage of a panoramic view that has the ability to bend perspective

all because you chose to give time a chance

Anyone who believes time heals everything has never buried a son.

Sometimes I think murder would help, but alas, he is already dead. The hurt and hate lives on.

I have a friend who was scarred many years ago and it bothers him lots more now. He thinks about That rough time too much lately.

True. I have a good friend, an only child, who within 14 months, lost his mom, wife, and dog. (He and his wife had no children). Now, a year later his father is in the hospital with double pneumonia.

May today be better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow.
