The Safe Haven

When I posted last night i thought for sure I'd support the thread because Spicy's my friend and my friends may need help. It's always been my personal belief that I be there for them.

Now today I sit here crying on and off thinking about my father who passed last night. I have a hard time when I have to release just because I usually am the rock. I usually hold it all together.

So I guess that's why I'm here today. Just have to vent a bit and allow myself the chance to grieve for once.

{{{HUGS}}} All my best to you during this time ... :rose:
 
*hugs*
It's kinda weird because I've been in different fits today. I'll be normal for a few moments then cry for a few.....kinda weird.

That is completely normal. It will go in waves like that and it gets better with time.
 
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss Azuldrgon. When I lost my Mom it was also very hard for me realise that this was not the time for me to be strong and that I needed to let go, feel it and grieve.

Crying is cathartic, and part of the process.
(((HUGS ))) to you at this time.
I wish you the courage, and endurance, and the wisdom you need.

How gorgeous! It reminds me of the sunsets in the desert, which I do miss.

If you don't mind I want to use that as wallpaper on my computer.

I don't mind.

Well, let's see.

I have had suicidal tendencies since I was ten. Tried cutting my wrists at 14. Late teens I started to cut my fingers, then moved onto my arms. I would scratch the skin off my arms when under stress, and I still try NOT to hurt myself to this day.

I was 12 for my first attempt and then 15 for the second. I never did the scratching or cutting..i was an emotional eater. Either way it becomes like an addiction...and getting out of it can be a huge struggle. *HUGS*

*HUGS* I love you sweetheart and you know we are here for you.

Cutie- (((HUGS))) :rose::rose:
Thank you for sharing, I am so sorry you are dealing with this.

Azuldrgon- I am sorry for your loss. :rose::rose:
I lost my father at a young age, I've been missing him a lot lately as well.

I'm sorry for your loss and that you are missing him. *HUGS*

I know but I look for inner beauty. :D

She is really pretty for real...don't let her tell you otherwise..
 
For what it's worth...

As many of us can say while cruisin' Lit... I happened upon this..
I have to say this is a rather refreshing thread... Great idea, Spicy!

We all walk through life as become weighted down by one burden or another, some inherited, some thrust upon us and some self inflicted. Nonetheless, they are burdens and are no less trivial or more important than someone else's. Simply, they are our personal burdens that we bear, often in uncomfortable silence.

So far this thread has revealed two topics that, generally create a great deal of discomfort in people. The wonderful thing about an environment such as this is that anonymity tends to allow honesty and truthfulness. And in turn, support and comfort from "like" souls in amongst the loneliness.
In essence, we are not alone...

TS.... You are not alone, far from it! You are a cutter for a reason, look into your history... Why? What is the pain you are masking by cutting? PM me if you'd like...

Azul.... I am deeply sorry for your loss. I can only imagine your sense of grief as I have yet to experience a loss such as yours. I'm glad you have found a "safe haven" to unravel your grief.

Azul.... I am sorry for your loss. It is greater than I can imagine at this stage in my life. It's difficult being "the strong one", who can you lean on when you need the shoulder... Plus, as men, we are hard wired to be stoic, emotionally reserved(particularly vulnerable emotions)... I'm glad you've found a "safe haven" to grieve.
 
Oops

Lol....sorry, for whatever reason it doubled up a re edited version to Azul...

I felt the same way when I lost my brother, father, and step-father. Let yourself grieve, you need to, don't hold it in. *HUGS* for you and we do understand what it's like.
 
Hi Spicy
Thank you for your acknowledgement. Greatly appreciated. To be honest, I still am a cherry when it come to this... As you can see, if you look up my profile, I'm very new to posting on Lit or any other site for that matter, so I don't know the ins and outs of posting yet...
I checked into your thread and in turn checked into some of your previous posts... You are a gentle and kind soul, Spicy... I sense a maternal, nurturing younger(than I) woman whom I quickly have developed a respect for based on the words and dialog you have shared with embers in need.. You seem mature beyond your years... Which could also be an indication of the life you've lived...nonetheless you have peaked my interest... Thank you...

You seem to be doing just fine in posting so far, hon.

Thank you so much for your kind words...really. They mean a lot. I just love being there for others. I never want anyone to feel like they have to go through something alone. No one should have to.
 
Ahhh, Spicy... I couldn't agree more! Life can be too much of a challenge to wander through it alone, particularly when Lit (or any other venue) can provide you with a bit of reprieve. A voice of support from the unknown, if you will...
 
I expect to pass through life but once. If therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now, and not defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again. ~William Penn

Only a part of why I am the way I am...
