Thank you again for an awesome post. Just talking about something breaks down walls. I loved that you mentioned COVID because, as well as it being a difficult time for me with it being the 13th anniversary of my sister's untimely death and hot on its heel a close friend's suicide, I have been finding this 5th anniversary of COVID triggering on many levels. Really all 3 of these events in my life need walls coming down via talking.
Another interesting one that I noticed there were walls at was a dog walking friend has just had an mastectomy but when I told a male dog walking friend this his response was that we shouldn't talk about it. We have before talked openly about other cancers that have taken other dog walking friends. But I found this very interesting that there seemed to be a wall around talking of having a breast removed.
I will ponder those unseen and untalked about walls that are all around us. Thank you for raising it
I love your response to this. Thanks Diane. It really is good to think about the barriers we have that need to be broken down and as you have discerned they are literally all around us. It’s no wonder we live in such a hurting society.
