I have been MIA the last few weeks after breaking my femur for the second time in 6 months. I was in the hospital for a couple of weeks, and now in a rehabilitation facility.
During these weeks I’ve not connected to, or worked on my grief at all. It’s almost like I couldn’t handle the physical pain, and the pain inside of my soul at the same time. Yesterday was my first time going back to a group, and today’s really the first time I’ve been able to think about this and reflect.
Have any of you ever had an experience like this? Where you just had to shut it off for a bit because you felt like you’d never make it if you had so many wounds opened at once?
I’ve worked too hard with my grief to stop now, I just feel like I won’t be able to be fully present with it while I’m learning how to use my leg again.
