Beautiful words as usual dear son! Oh, how we all miss that sweet girl!!! May we all go through grief in healthy ways and always remember the wonderful memories that she left us.
Josh, I am so sorry about your sister. I didn’t know trauma could cause that kind of damage. I knew it caused damage, just..... it’s a lot to take in. I’ve had liver issues for years. Pain, swelling... multiple tests with no answers. It’s scary to think that trauma can manifest in that way.
Anyways, I didn’t want to make this about me. I’m hurting for you. I hope you are able to have all the comfort and strength you need right now. My thoughts are with you.
Thanks so much Austin. I appreciate those thoughts as I grieve.
When it comes to illness as the result of trauma, I want to point out that this is a very, very extreme case. It is something that it is good to be aware of thought, I suppose. Most of the time, trauma tends to manifest itself (as far as I can surmise anyway--I'm no doctor of course) in auto-immune diseases, and much less frequently in things like rare cancers. The good news is that there can be a whole lot of healing of the body as a person processes and heals old traumas and finds internal peace around difficult issues of yesteryear, and I have no doubt that the recent strides you have made in your life have positively impacted your overall health. (I stopped having colds for over half a decade after starting living authentically, which I thought was a really surprising.) So it is definitely not a hopeless situation!
