Malinda, how courageous of you to write this on a day like this. Thank you.

Writing helped, as did opening up to my mom and sisters that I was in a bad place today...and a couple of them were too, in much the same way as me. It helped to hear that...makes me feel not as crazy, even though I know this is a real thing because I've experienced it multiple times before!

Yeah. It’s hard but good to have access to people who actually get it.

Thank you Melinda for reminding us that oftentimes tragedies of different kinds can trigger the pain and suffering we’ve previously experienced in our own lives. May the Lord comfort and strengthen you with His presence and peace. I care.

It's a lot to process, that's for sure. Thank you for that prayer of blessing and for your care!
