Hi Sarah

You are writing exactly where I am right now it's like someone writing about what's happening because I can't.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being so raw and honest and real.This is a nightmare but to know you've been there takes a weight off my shoulders because it's unexplainable to people ...why are you still not ok etc.Everytime I turn around there are tears running down my face that I just can't explain.

Thank you so much you really are a treasure xxx

Thank you for your beautiful writing. I know I say it often but it is absolutely true; It's as if you are telling my story sometimes. I sit and read it and cry because it hits so close and so hard. I literally told my boss today, that I'm so stressed that some days I feel like stopping my car on the bridge and jumping over. It's not that I would, but some days I feel like I just can't escape all the stress. I'm so overwhelmed with trying to manage everyone else that I can't manage my own mind. I just keep praying, and reading. Thank you for being the words that my mind can't compose, and my mouth can't express. God bless you, Sarah 🙏🏽

Oh lovely, may these words bring you comfort. I have been right where you are and it’s flat out exhausting. But you are not alone and you have such strength. I’m cheering you on and you’re in my prayers xx.

A month ago I lost my 16 year old daughter to suicide. The pain is debilitating and the “why’s” and “what if’s” so overwhelming. I don’t know if this is the right space for me - maybe.

Oh, my heart is aching for you right now. There is such devastation and grief in That place that I don’t think words could express it. You are so welcome here and I pray that the Lord leads you to the spaces that will help you walk through this grief, lovely.

Over 50 years ago I lost my mind. I'd been raised to be a medium and things had been building, but finally one day I woke up knowing only one thing: Reality was a person and I had no connection. At that point I decided I wanted to follow Reality. The next day I woke up convinced reality was the God who created the Universe, the God of the Old Testament. I had a little money so I bought a Bible, The New Jerusalem, and started reading. My prayer times were exceptional. I was so confused about who Jesus was. I told YHWH I didn't understand if Jesus was His son or not. I said I was so confused that I couldn't trust the world, it had to come from Him. He convinced me. He gradually rebuilt my mind and it amazed me that He did such a good job. Fast forward to 7 years ago when I had a stroke that made swiss cheese of my brain. Again, God rebuilt my mind again. There are still gaps, but again, it amazes me at how well He rebuilt it.
