We haven't seen the full suffering of the children and other victims, which makes it all too easy to focus on one's own hurt. That said, the hurt is real. That others are more traumatised and brutalised doesn't make you whole and healed. My achiever finds it hard to be satisfied with just plodding on to another day, but it's all the energy I can muster at present.
The trauma and brutality the others have endured is what makes me suffer.
The whole truth out there will still knock me off my feet, no matter how much work i do on myself to prepare. But i will rise and calmly lead.
