I too am one and when the dream is shattered, as mine was recently, it sure makes life harder--emotionally harder. But you put two dreamers together and they can conquer the world!!!Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03399435237919718544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6580898742645753422.post-39954080866915394302010-06-02T01:01:40.783-04:002010-06-02T01:01:40.783-04:00I was talking to my therapist today about feeling ...I was talking to my therapist today about feeling stuck in the anger and bitterness that I feel. I can't seem to get past the anger that God did this to us, or that God let this happen. It feels like a betrayal. It goes back to my first love, who I met while we were both studying to become priests. I chose to leave, he chose to stay. God won then, taking my love from me, and he did it again. <br /><br />So, as you describe, I do think that our life's circumstances can inhibit our grief process. My therapist brought up to me that while I look back to my early 20's, and losing my first love to the priesthood, he challenges me to look back further for this same sense of betrayal. When I thought about it I had to admit that I felt that I was a good kid, yet God put so much on me at an early age. <br /><br />So when people say that death is not personal, and that it happens to everyone at some point, it is of little consolation to me. It feels very personal, and my life's experiences had led me to the point where I am stuck. I don't know if I will ever be able to move past this stage of feeling angry and bitter.<br /><br />I suppose this is my way of saying, that your feelings about your experience are quite valid. You deserved better. You deserved to have your Dragon for the rest of you life, not just his.<br /><br />Peace.<br /><br />DanDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02218009891182171803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6580898742645753422.post-22695996035073681042010-06-01T16:39:07.823-04:002010-06-01T16:39:07.823-04:00Dearest womanNshadows,
That last mission, what ha...Dearest womanNshadows,<br /><br />That last mission, what happened to us, it was a story I felt you should know about because it reinforces how much he loved you. He fought so hard to get back to you. You were what kept him going. <br /><br />I know you miss him, God I know. You two were meant to be together. I was glad to hear your laugh on the phone. As for being a dreamer, stay a dreamer. Your Dragon loved that aspect of you so much. He loved your mind and soul as much as your physical appearance. <br /><br />As much as you wish peace for me, I wish it for you. I know how hard it's been for you lately. Keep hanging on. He's not going anywhere. He's waiting for you just the other side of your moon.<br /><br />Semper Fi, <br />BrickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
