Yes, so hard, so painful to start healing. A therapist once asked me why I was still alive (my baseline is suicidal). Told her I didn't know, but there was some stubborn streak inside me that wanted to live, I guess.
Probably the same part of me that demanded to be healthy, to keep walking through the pain.
My brother didn't have that. He ran from the pain. This extended his pain, but his pain had no hope in it.
Beautifully written, Alda - you are amazing and obviously have great insight into the human psyche. I loved your book and have recommended it to several people. Blessings from Australia,

There's something amazingly beautiful about that commitment to life, in spite of everything 💗
