hey Mary Frances,
it's tough to be in the middle of it; really hard. the sense of accumulated loss is overwhelming. I can laugh now, but the pain is as close as a visit to my journal, which I just did, prompted by your words, "damaged goods," that have been so much a part of my own personal vocabulary.
just the fact that you brought your fear and sorrow to this forum shows that you know how to get through; that you are not alone; that you are among survivors. I like Fiona's description in another thread, "spiritual warriors."
Sharing your feelings is incredibly brave. And important - for yourself and for others reading your words. Accept the pain now; impossible to believe, healing will come if you give yourself kindness and time.
love,
Carey
