Dealing with the shrapnel

Ten years ago, a bomb destroyed my life.  Debbie died.  I lived in a ruined soul, empty.  There was only devastation, and I had no strength to heal myself.

Healing takes time.

Now there are some good days.  But, an unguarded memory, a glimpse of someone who reminds me of my lost daughter, loosens the shrapnel I carry inside me.  Fragments of the bomb.  Every time, I get a new wound, a new scar.

My soul is covered in scars.
