I’m doing everything right! I have let go of my past pain, I’ve forgiven myself and others, I’ve created and repeated wonderful affirmations, I’ve surrounded myself with people who I love and love me, I love people without judgment and assume they don’t judge me, I have taken control of my eating and filled my diet with wonderful, delicious, healthy food, I have embraced what I can do, (with this body that won’t yet let me exercise doing dance aerobics to 80′s music.)
I’m doing it all, and it still hurts.
Maybe tears are a part of life!
20 minutes of crying and I feel better already.

Amazing what a few tears will do for the soul. Its our release and our way of cleansing the spirit. Let it go and watch yourself transform.

After a three day pity party, I wept as I went to bed. I prayed as I was falling asleep, “Haven’t I learned enough Lord? I’ve learned so much! What do I still need to learn?!” When I woke up the next day, I was feeling better, but still not knowing what else I needed to learn.
First thing in the morning, I performed a household duty on hands & knees. I couldn’t hop up like I used to. I had to ask my son to help me up.
I have gotten so used to explaining to people why I can’t walk; the message isn’t getting from my brain to my legs. This was different. Not being able to get up from the floor was not a lack of neuro-communication. This was totally a lack of strength. My husband has tried to tell me this since the chemo (I hate it when he’s right!) What I need to do now, is exercise not just the modified pushups and the wimpy 20 minutes on the stationary bike in front of the TV that I’ve been doing. Difficult core muscle exercises! It’s all in my power!

Linda,
We have an incredible life in common, my friend. I try not to explain my condition—just smile broadly and send warmth and love to those who stare.
Am very excited that our paths have crossed. We can learn and lean on each other …

You can vent out your feelings by crying because it gives relief. To get hurt makes you human. God is a healer. Hold on to your faith and He will heal you and give you everlasting love no one could ever give.

Hi! I’ve been through with this crucial situation as well. I divert my attention to things and people who will make me appreciate myself more and the short life I have to enjoy instead of drowning myself to tears. At first, it won’t be easy but time heals the pain. Now, I’m totally free from the pain of my past.

The effects of crying depend on who is shedding the tears. People who have the insight into their emotional lives actually feel better after crying like you do. It’s highly effective in healing. All the best to you.
