Donna, my friend this is so beautiful. I have been going through this while writing poetry. It is hard but so healing. I would love to read your poem and perhaps you mine as we have both experienced childhood trauma and abuse.
Thank you, Deborah, for your kind words. Oh my, I am so sorry to think you have endured childhood abuse and trauma too. Writing is so helpful for processing, but I never realized when I began counseling just how hard it would be! Thank you for sharing that with me. I am still writing my poem, as Mary Oliver says, sometimes a poem evolves over a long period of time, while at other times they come out quickly. I would be happy to share mine when it’s done and am always willing to hold a safe space for you and your writing!
Beautiful redemption, healing, release, and hope, Donna.
Thank you, Lisa for talking the time to read my article. I am grateful for your kind words of encouragement!
