Stand Up for Courage

Healing

Fri, 22 Jun 2012 20:57:32 -0400

I support and applaud your courage in testifying against your abuser. I wish healing and peace for you and all victims of child abuse. I started a trauma referral website (www.noahsarknow.com) to address unspoken, unhealed, unrecognized grief and trauma. Live your lives fully in the knowledge that what happened to you was NOT your fault.

Thank You!

Thank you!

I am so far not able to confront my abuser and to bring him to justice. You are so incredibly brave and inspirational to me. I hope one day I will be able to do what you have done.

Please know I stand with you in spirit. You did not deserve or do anything to warrant what happened to you. You deserve peace and happiness and healing.

Remember, there is always darkness before the dawn. Be strong.

Thank you so much for what you are doing. It must be incredibly difficult and you are so so brave...

to feel exactly as you feel, tell people how feel, and define your experience for yourself. People who want to support you often describe your experience in a way that makes you (or them) feel better, but remember that it’s yours. Take care of yourself. We’re with you.

Thank you for speaking up. I have so much respect for you.

My friends, you need to know many of us have so much pride and hope because of the bold strength you showed in speaking honestly and openly of your experiences. Please understand that for each of you there are 10s of others who have never spoken. You have spoken for them. When you need a shoulder or a laugh, we will be with you. Your anonymity was safe. But you met the foe face to face. That was the hardest part. Much respect to each of you. And support always for speaking for all of us.
