I read your words and didn’t realise that I’m in that forest , the forest of grief ! I’m lost too being stung by nettles and brambles as I try to find my way out . I beat them with a stick everyday to make a path but it’s so difficult. One day I hope I can say “ I was lost but now I’m found “ but I fear it will take a long time . I often smile as your words make me chuckle but today you made me think x Thankyou x

ahhhhh, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Glad that you found some comfort here, but so sorry for the pain you're experiencing. The horrors of being trapped in that place feel crushing, and cycle you through their stages with careless dominance. One of the problems is that you only have with you what you took in there - there's no time to prepare for it. Do check through your internal resources though, as there may be things going unused that can help you. I hope you know you're not alone in that forest, there are other people in there too - trying to find their own ways out. I hope you know, too, that sometimes you have to pause awhile and look around you to begin to find a way out. Much love to you.
