Thank you so much for sharing Bashirah. I’m so proud of you for giving yourself the permission to heal. You chose yourself and that’s a spectacular feat!🤍
Thank you. Your voice is so necessary. This was heartbreaking to read and also cathartic in a way. I can sense so deeply how despite everything that you experienced, you decided to take that pain and create something beautiful from it. I wish you all the love and healing. I know you said that you don't have much poetry left in you, but this was a poem in itself.
Thank you so much for your kind words, and for all of your hard work creating this space for us to tell these stories. I would not have written this piece without you. Wishing you love and healing as well.
Thank you writing something so thoughtful and true; I am certain that the work you have put into finding parts of yourself in the midst of difficultly means something, and even listening to your spirit enough to know when it needs rest means something; I appreciated reading your thoughts
I’m currently estranged from my father after decades of trying to have a peaceful relationship and it feels amazing. It’s taken me so long to get here and I deeply resonated with the anger and resentment about the time and money lost trying to heal from someone else’s mess that you described. May we continue to go our own ways despite their attempts to derail us.
It's really heartbreaking to know your story and how much you have gone through. I can't imagine how difficult it must have been.
Honestly I'm not good with words...
One thing coming to my head rn is an ayat of Qur'an in which Allah swt say "he tests those whom he loves the most"
When we feel helpless, we can always turn to dua. I pray may Allah swt ease your pain and reward you for your patience and strength. May you rise through it all... May He replace your hardships with peace, lift the burdens from your heart, and fill your life with blessings beyond measure and reward you with nothing but goodness !! Aameen!!
