I'm starting to realize that writing about how I'm feeling, I can better convey what I'm going through to my loved ones. It feels like a huge weight is lifted off of my shoulders every time I do it.
This past weekend I took some huge steps that have made me feel so much better. First, I did some research about what I've been feeling, the healing process for a survivor and resources for secondary survivors for my loved ones and myself.
