Trauma is what we learn in the face of the events that have happened to us.
It's not just about what happened to us. It is who we became after the event.
It is what we made after the event that happened or did not happen.
What is trauma?
Oftentimes, when we think about trauma, we imagine things that had happened to us. Trauma isn't always about things that had happened to us. It sometimes happened that things didn't happen; like the absence of a parent, lack of holding guidance, support, &so on
Loosing Aunty Riri gave me an understanding of what grief entails.
I also realised that each grieve in their own way.
We heal differently and at our own pace.
Faฤบling off somewhere along the way when healing is okay. You didn't become what you are healing from within a short time. So, falling sometimes is all part of the journey.
Remember to pick yourself up when you fall!!!!!
I waited to hear you call me Osazyyy yesterday or Osas when you're upset.
I didn't hear any ๐๐
Thank you, Aunty Riri, for the beautiful experiences and encounters. I will always love you ๐
