“Grief is not something that ever goes away. You just learn to accommodate it so you can move forward in your life and over time it gets less intense, at least most of the time.” ~David Baxter Grief is a natural response to loss.
Loss can mean the death of a loved one, the , the loss of a job or home, or a response to trauma, abuse, or betrayal. Grief shows itself differently in different people.
But the common denominator is that grief goes deep, and grieving is painful. Around six years ago, my life was turned upside down and would never be the same again.
I was raised in a cult from the age of nine. I was a child of domestic violence and divorce. My father abandoned the family, and we subsequently suffered abuse from my mother’s partners.
