It's the end of Mental Health Awareness Month, but for advocates like me...our work carries on. I have become acutely aware that for many, mental health has plummeted over the years. Suicide rates are up and we are experiencing deep grief.
Thank you for this heartbreaking list of things we’re grieving. It’s so long and we’re so tired it takes time to remember our sorrows rather than numbing out in self-preservation. I turned to prayer this morning with your post in mind. Some days Julian’s message that all manner of things will be well seems so difficult to hear. Much love, Elizabeth
Thanks for reading Elizabeth. "it takes time to remember our sorrows rather than numbing out in self-preservation" You've captured so succinctly the point of this letter, to stop sugar coating, stop running, stop putting bandages over our uncomfortable emotions...how else do we heal? :)
