Things that matter to me and I care about are not the same as what you care about…and vice versa.
The things that make me tick are not the same as you.
By the same token…I will never feel your pain or grief the way you do.
I can sympathize and empathize with you…but I do not feel it like you do…
The same goes with our generational, cultural or ancestral pain…it is not as alive in me as it is in you.
Do not expect your pain to be alive in others the same as it is in you.
We all feel love, pain, trauma and grief differently…and we ALL process it uniquely.
There are no time limits on dealing with pain and grief.
Don’t let other peoples time lines affect your process…or progress.
Surrender with patience to your own process.
We haven’t walked in each other’s shoes.
