Ruthie, I am in the waiting room with a loved one who is having a breakdown. I pulled up your article and they read it. What a gift you are in this moment to make them feel heard and known and loved on a new level. It has opened some doors od conversation for us. Thank you.
I'm new to you and your work, but as a Nashville native who's been in the depths of grief and physical pain from a severe spinal injury that brought her home, I met someone recently at a grief circle who suggested I look you up and read your book. I was in my 6th setback and acute phase of pain, praying and negotiating with the universe for what felt like the millionth time to allow me some relief when I found you. I too have been beat down by the unfortunate nature of failed surgeries and debilitating pain, but of course, my path has been quite different but hearing your words and your story, I wept as I read. I finally found someone who can relate and who knows the struggle to fight for what is so normal for everyone else. In listening to your book, I was brought home to myself and realized I was only going to get out of this struggle and pain cycle if I changed my relationship with my pain. It's been a journey upwards since...and I know that with the setbacks, I will continue to use the tools to continue managing my mindset, rewiring my brain, and regulating my nervous system so that the next one won't affect me so much. Thank you for helping me with this breakthrough! I know your work will have lasting impact in so many lives. Keep sharing!
Love you big time. Thank you for being here. Thank you for writing. Thank you for sharing. Humans are some pretty dope beings eh? Looking forward to sharing with you; in Sacred reciprocity
