When Will The Hurt Stop Hurting Barbara D Thompkins

This book has been therapy. Every morning I would wake up at 3:30 a.m., get up, walk around and go back to bed. I would toss, turn and my thoughts wandered. I would try to work out family issues. I would search my heart in silence. I felt unsettled and restless. I would ask the Lord to make me feel safe. He answered my prayers by helping me get out of my comfort zone. It has not been easy to recall some of the most painful, sexual, emotional and psychological abuse, but once we go through our painful experience, we can acknowledge the hurt, get through them, and create a meaningful, worthwhile and contributing life.
