What happened to you is not on you, it's on them. It's a part of your story but it is not your whole story. You are stronger than you think you are.

I believe in you I believe that you have another courage to speak up and get justice if that’s what you want you deserve justice even if you think you don’t

I would tell other survivors that they are loved and to receive that and to love themselves. I would also tell them that their story isn't over it is only beginning, they are now in charge and get to choose how it will continue. It is not their fault.

Healing for me means to let it all go, and working on the triggers that I know are there and ones that I don’t know could be there. Healing is to share my story over and over for others to hear that could be going through the same thing.

what happened to you doesn’t define you, you have bigger and greater things in store for you. You have and always with be worth love, worth life, and so much more

I didn't think I'd be anyone other than the angry teenager after my assault. But here I am, nearly five years after, and I'm the gentle woman I fought to be. There's hope, because in healing, you will find yourself.
Report
I finally divorced my abuser after 45 years. It is not easy but it is better. Of course no relationship is 100% awful 100% of the time. That’s what helped keep me in it. But, I now know that I deserve more than the crumbs I got in my abusive marriage.

Learn to forgive. Don’t carry the anger you had because it will break you. Part of that is also learning to like who you are. Easier said than done for sure, but worth the effort. Counseling was extremely helpful and I still use some of the skills my counselor taught me. You were victimized, it’s not your fault.
Report
Healing is accepting the things you cannot change. And trusting that God has you no matter what.
Report
Healing to me would to wake up and not feel so angry at the world for what happened to me. To not feel like I have to carry this pain, I want to let go and make space for me & the truth of the beauty I carry in my heart.
Report
Healing is knowing that you are worthy, lovable, forgivable, valuable, smart, capable, funny, wanted, needed, strong, & so much more. It’s knowing that all the messes are now testimonies. It’s knowing you survived everything that tried to break you. It’s knowing that you should never give up. Always let your light shine and be yourself. Your people are going to love you for you so you don’t have to change anything about yourself.

To me, healing means to allow yourself the time to recover and get as close as you can to a healthy and functioning existence.
