Yo...It says you are a perfectly normal human being. You feel love, loss, compassion, and understanding. You also feel fear, anger, frustration, exhaustion, and relief. <br /><br />Some of the most effective means of torture isn't extreme pain but the constant application of what is considered "medium" stressors and the dread of anticipating those stressors over time. A drop of water on your forehead doesn't seem so bad, a drop of water on your forehead every 10 to 30 seconds over a period of hundreds of hours? Standing still? How hard is that? Not hard for a few minutes, an hour? two hours? three? <br /><br />What you went through over a period of not just hours or even months, but years was more than a "medium" stressor. If, in the tremendous loss you have had to suffer, you can find even some measure of comfort, take it. The best of who Kelsey was and the essence of her that still lives on would not begrudge you that and would want to give you at least that.Valerie Quarleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12168270050721941614noreply@blogger.com
