The only other thing I'd like to say before moving on is that I don't believe I'm brave to share this story and honestly I no longer have any shame regarding this period in my life. Every one of us experiences challenges in our lives, whether it's the death of a child, terminal illness of a loved one, a degree of poverty, or of heartbreak...no one moves through this experience we call life without something affecting us.
We all have stories to share that can ease someone else's burden as they make this journey. The challenge is to share those stories, so that we know we're not alone. The challenge is to show love and understanding, because you don't know what the woman or man standing next to you is going through...but most especially the challenge is to love each other as we love ourselves.
I was truly touched by the response to this post, cried a few tears and cheered a little bit but most sincerely from the bottom of my heart...
Thank You!
