Title: inspired Post by: corraline on May 16, 2014, 10:18:41 AM When I read some of the posters here who have been through so much pain and are just "being here" which is a huge accomplishment, i am inspired. I am humbled... I am grateful to them for having the courage to heal and come here and share and support others. I mean, being married to for years, having children with a PD person and suffering the pain similar to mine when i only had three years and no kids is unbelievable. Seriously amazing. For those of us who endured small amounts of time in comparison, lets not underestimate our pain because of it either. I hear the "it was only a short term, but I am feeling terrible and don't understand why" posts too.
Pain is pain . Thank goodness we have each other here. Title: Re: inspired Post by: heartandwhole on May 16, 2014, 01:37:46 PM Right on corraline! :)
I especially liked your comment about pain. My T set me straight when I tried to minimize and compare my pain to others'. Pain is pain, and I believe compassion and gratitude (like you have expressed here) are like balm to anyone who is hurting.

I have felt selfish about having trouble coping because It just doesn't seem as bad as what others have been through ... Thank you so much
