It's basically a 15cm square pillow for people to stroke or throw or cling onto

Dear @avant-garde ,
I'm so sorry this happened to you. These 'wounds' scar a lifetime. And whilst we may move on in life, I recognise the pain remains.
I hope you got the support you needed.

The psychosomatic pain right now... I know it will pass, but it sucks right now
I don't like when helping someone else triggers something I didn't know was there

Hugs @avant-garde ,
Do you have someone you can speak to at the moment (if you feel you need it)?
1800RESPECT? You don't need to sit with this alone. I hear the hurt and pain.

Hey @avant-garde , I just wanted to check in with you after yesterday. How are you? Did you get to church today?

I was just reminded that forgiveness isn't erasing the hurt, it's allowing the hurt to heal...
My "brother" just dropped around a few small boxes that members from my church decided to "unburden" me of by initially throwing them in the skip bin when I first became homeless, boxes that I then rescued.
Seeing the boxes doesn't hold as much anger.
First service was painful, the sermon was way too triggering.
Second service is soon and Delilah is going to be there... then I get my happy meal
