I think you should definitely think in terms of healing completely. It's just going to be a process of getting there, one step at a time.

You are certainly being pushed to deal with a lot, and I'm really sorry. But, look how much you are learning and growing. You know so much more about so many things than you did a year ago. And you're going to be learning even more. God will be using all this learning and development and wisdom to do great things. You're going to be able to take all these painful events and contribute to the world because of them.

Yes, you're right, the people letting you down truly know not what they do, and it's great to remember that. But, let yourself have your hurt and anger, too --either here, or in the privacy of your own mind -- that's an essential part of the healing and growth.

Several of us on this board have a leaning toward alternative medicine, so don't hesitate to ask questions if you have any.

Am praying right now!
