Jenny, first I want to thank you for your vulnerability to be honest with us. your "peeps" about some very challenging feelings you're having to navigate. I have found that a problem shared, is a problem halved...it is through compassionate, healthy and kind community that we are supported. I too have had the preverbal rug yanked out from under me as of late. Two months ago, I became extremely sick in my physical body with horrible pain and complete to the bone tire fatigue and exhaustion. The only thing available to me to do was be in bed or sitting in a recliner. Thankfully I know of the benefits of meditation and yoga Nidra practices that helped to support me in the darkest mental despair as well as having friends and loved ones that I could voice my feelings with and many releasing cry sessions. I am just now after two months starting to feel a little better and I'm full of gratitude and have a felt sense of empathy for others that go through hardships. I will be having a surgery in a week, and I know that the rehabilitation and getting my physical strength back from that will be a journey, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Just know that you are not alone in this and we all need each other to be able to grow that our challenges. In love and light, Namaste'
Thank you for your kind, thoughtful and equally vulnerable response Lisa. I'm so sorry that you are going through all of that. Life feels hard for so many people right now. I know we are not alone in our suffering.
It's difficult to be vulnerable, especially when the pain feels so personal. After I finished my final edits and scheduled the post to publish last night, I felt an overwhelming sense of dread. Was I making a mistake by inviting all of my readers into such a private moment?? Was it absurd to put my pain out into the world? I decided to choose courage and hope that it would be of some use to someone out there. So, I really am so incredibly grateful to hear from you Lisa. I needed to hear that I am not alone as much as I needed to share it.
