We call it the "rollercoaster." One minute your tears are flowing from what your heart has contained for too long, the next minute you're in a crazy dance challenge that allows that inner child to come out fully alive. Yes, part of trauma healing is the laughter, and it's for everyone to experience.

It's not your fault, you didn't ask for the trauma. You weren't expecting as a child for your innocence to be stolen, yet hope still exists. You can heal, you can use your pain as a tool for your own growth, and you can trust again. It won't happen on its own, but it can happen. Choose to find your own truth, choose to change the story, choose you.

Husbands, wives and significant others, grandparents, best friends, sons, daughters, and moms and dads. They are all missed and Wednesday we had the opportunity to honor them by creating a garden for each one that held something special in it representing them. A beautiful way to continue our healing and create more memories that include them.
This Tuesday evening at 6 pm our grief group will gather online, and everyone is welcome, this is your safe space.

Brent Brown said "Of all the things trauma takes away from us, the worst is our willingness, or even our ability to be vulnerable. There's a reclaiming that has to happen." You're looking at several individuals who reclaimed who they were created to be, and thus the healing began.

The thoughts and questions we play over and over in our mind after a loss can be some of the cruelest pain we experience. We invite you to rest your mind from the torture that may be swirling inside your head. It produces suffering which never leads to healing. Pain is inevitable, suffering is replaying over and over that which we can't change. Allow yourself to feel the pain, find mercy for yourself.

Years ago when we paved our lot, there was a lot of grumbling. Dust everywhere, cars having to park in the street, limited access to the building. It's been said change is inevitable but growth is optional. Our change has been opportunities for more growth, and we're about to do it again.

WHAT IS TRAUMA? Trauma is the mother who faces this weekend with the reality of a child she had to bury. Trauma is getting the knock on the door, the phone call. Trauma is daily reminders he's never calling you again, she's never walking through that door.
If you know of any mother with this as her 'real world,' allow grace to be your gift this weekend. She needs it.

If you think it can't be done, if you think people can't change, watch this video. As someone who has been incarcerated for almost 20 years, this gentleman spoke from his head and led from his heart. "This program opened my eyes up...it ripped some callouses off, so our humanity can come through." I was privileged to have witnessed his "humanity," and I will never forget the gentleness he kept hidden in his heart that dared to be seen in those two days. It was one of the bravest things I've ever witnessed.
