Thanks for your reply, rk. For the last two months or so, I have been feeling really happy, comfortable and pleased with things. This is REALLY different from how things used to be. My wonderful T and I have done lots of work about the traumas; he is so attentive, caring, intelligent, and I feel so understood- and I can begin to know now that there is indeed a good life after having all those awful things happen. We are just going on doing that. I almost have the opposite problem now- that things are good, so there's not so much reason to post! Also, while I do want people to know that things can really get better, I don't want to inadvertently appear insensitive to people who are still going through really hard things- as I did myself for many years
I hope this is a Christmas when lots of people can feel hopeful and encouraged about the future. A year ago, I was so depressed I wasn't able to do anything (not one thing) for Christmas, but this year, we are going to celebrate with our son and his wife. They are expecting our first grandchild- a boy- in February. A year ago, I would have been too depressed to feel joy or excitement over even something as wonderful as that, but, thankfully, this year I can. My T left for a two-week vacation yesterday, and it was a very happy temporary good-bye: we were both laughing and happy. over... I'm not sure what. I guess we both knew that we had done really good things together this past year...
