struggling after making myself vulnerable

I made myself vulnerable to a very very strong person


who made me feel just squashed after we spoke.


My resolve is 'this too shall pass'


and instead of fretting about my own feelings,


I'll pray for what's most important - and that is


for the wellfare of my Dad and his sister...while she transitions.


It's very very sad - but I hope my Dad sees her before she passes.


and I'll just focus on that.

Here with you. Your feelings are valid, it takes a lot of strength to be vulnerable too. I’m proud of you for being strong enough to be vulnerable too. Please be so gentle with you okay.

I was in the waiting area at the pharmacy when I was reading your other journal on my phone & responded but it didn’t go through for some reason.

I promise I will keep you, your dad & aunt in my prayers
Im here if you need someone to talk to
I hope you can get some cuddles from Blue today & maybe do something that can bring you a little comfort or just rest & take it easy.
You are loved and important
Sending support, hope & many prayers
Gentle hug <3

I have been in your shoes many times, Markus. And learning to not become hardened by defeat in the aftermath is really rough navigating. It’s a strength to be vulnerable and to take a risk being vulnerable. Strong people…hmm. I suppose we see strength as different attributes. Maybe you can think of strength as a sort of spectrum. Some people are strong in areas and not in others. Being strong enough to show vulnerability fits on the spectrum somewhere.

Sending a hug and prayer to you and for your family.
