"May even my grief and brokenness become, in some way, a gift to the world around me

Life in Recovery

I would just like to say that I know my posts can be super raw in there truth. I try to be brutally open in the hopes of helping someone. I’ve tried my best to have my life reflect the quote "May even my grief and brokenness become, in some way, a gift to the world around me.“

If ANYTHING I write is offensive or upsetting in ANY way, PLEASE if you feel ok to do so, just shoot me a message and I will do my very best to fix it. I’m really nice I promise! lol. I’m new to all of this and I’ve used my writing as a way of therapy for me and in doing so it sometimes helps others I suppose. So I don’t always think how it may trigger those who happen to read them. I also appreciate brutal honesty in posts and peoples truths in their rawest forms which can sometimes make me forget that though it may not be upsetting to me, it can be to others. I hope everyone knows my heart is in the right place, even if it’s a little rough around the edges. :heart:

Happy holidays to all of you and may our journeys down this road of sobriety remain straight and steady as we travel through this bittersweet thing called life. So much love and understanding to you all!!

They already are a gift.

Your posts remind me of the lyrics to song.
It’s a choral piece. I’m not religious (tho I am spiritual), and a lot of choral music is religious. But this is by a contemporary composer, Jake Runestad, and I first heard it when my own grief from losing my dad was much more acute.

*Angels where you soar *
up to God’s own light
take my own lost bird
on your hearts tonight
And as grief, once more, mounts to heaven and sings…
Let my love be heard, whispering in your wings

I think that’s it right there. When we give voice to our grief, we give voice to our love.
And you giving voice to your grief, in its own way gives voice to mine, to our collective grief.

Your words are a gift. :orange_heart:

Nah, I love reading your posts. I have no similar grief, but I still feel and have felt grief. Even if it hurts, sometimes reading your succinct thoughts and feelings helps me to put my finger on an emotion or realise something.

I’m all good keeping my mind and heart open too feel and learn.

Thanks Sarayab. Have a lovely festive period.
