Letting go is such a difficult process, but once it is done...it gets easier. The initial letting go I think is definitely the hardest. And then the next day we must do it all over again...and then again the next, and the next...until you wake up and the thing you were imprisoned by is no longer the first thought that comes to your mind...and you think and dwell on it less and less....

Eventually the cuts will heal and you will be better because of them...but while that wound is closing, you think you are going to die it hurts so much, and it may take months or years for it to completely heal, but not giving up on tending the wound properly is what is going to make you better.
