healing-the-past

Music is a great healer.

I am not where I need to be, but, thank God, I am not where I used to be.

The more we focus on who we are in Christ, the less it matters who we were in the past, or even what happened to us.

Hold yourself back, or heal yourself back together. You decide.

Paulette had never been flush with self-confidence. People took that as humility, but humility isn__ painful and crippling. She hadn__ yet learned that humble and self-destructive aren__ the same thing at all. They__e not even on the same team. - From "The Gardens of Ailana" handbook for healers & mystics

The word 'survivor' carries a weight of remembrance that has broken the minds and bodies of more than a few men and women. It also contains a humbling light of recognition that compels many to do whatever they can to help reinforce the efforts of those who might be 'at risk' of not just giving up on their dreams, but of giving up on their continued existence.

It isn__ violence that can break through our hearts. It isn__ force that binds us and keeps us together. Only tenderness has the power to accomplish what the fullness of love desires to do. Tenderness that approaches us little by little, and handles our feelings with the deepest affection and delight. Tenderness that is willing to wait for the right time until we are ready and we are no longer afraid.

Love doesn't hurt, love doesn't cut, and in dark times love doesn't cease.Love heals, love seals, it drains out the world and leaves you with peace.

Something I'm not ready to name works itself under the grip of Charlies death and loosens it, and keeps the nightmare at bay when I fall back asleep.

It__ true: A slice of pound cake does wonders to thaw the coldest of days.

The flowers are so beautiful, but God's love is infinitely stronger for us than the beauty of ALL flowers and all beautiful things combined!

Time possesses emotional potency. For persons whom suffer from of bereavement, time possesses a healing capacity. Passage of time cures heartache by dimming the mind__ attunement to painful occurrences. For some people, the passage of time is akin to placing a welcomed physical boundary between themselves and past horrors. Passage of time allows us to forget and the ability to forget is medicinal. Time acts as a mental barrier between our present mental state and the pain that we once felt.

Forever does not make loss forgettable, only bearable.

Healing is not about moving on or __etting over it,_ it__ about learning to make peace with our pain and finding purpose in our lives again.

Your greatest healing lies in forgiving all that has wrong and hurt you.

Forgiveness doesn__ make one person better, or the other guy smaller. Forgiving is just letting go. It__ turning back toward being what we really are.

Forgive someone today. Especially if that someone is you.
