I had a wonderful, reconnecting conversation with a friend tonight. It was a blessing to speak with her. We've been friends for nearly 15 years, and even though we had a period of disconnection, we've picked things back up.
During our conversation tonight I was reminded of how long the pain of abuse can last. This friend was abused by an employer and the effects remain to this day.
I am mindful of the reality that I can't take away her pain - just be there for her. Too bad that healing can sometimes be lengthy.
