Healing, to me, is a constantly evolving. It started with accepting what had happened to me. I hope that one day I will confide in someone about my experience and truly heal from it.

It’s never easy, but you learn to be okay again. Trust the process.

There is always light at the end of the tunnel - guaranteed. Never give up. Your victory story will help others. You have a purpose. In my darkest days I wish someone told me this. You are worthy.

I've a lot of healing to do. Starting with counselling to try understand everything and why it wasn't all my fault.

For me healing is moving in with my life and not letting those who have assaulted me take over my life. When I can leave the house and feel safe
Report
I'm 9 weeks on from my assault and in the early stages of wedding planning. I'll never forget what happened me but I hope in time the good out weighs the bad.

You as a Survivor are incredible. Only you know what your story is like. No body understands what it is truely like unless they have experienced it themselves. You are not alone. Other Survivors understand you better.Stay strong always and never let anyone discredit your story.
Report
There is hope in survivors coming together to share their stories and offer each other support, encouragement and understanding. We are stronger together.
Report
Someone wants to listen to your story. Someone wants to help. Don't deal with this alone. I believe you, I see you. You can survive this.
Report
Don't let someone use you, manipulate you, deceive and gaslight you, abuse you psychologically, financially, sexually. You (and your children) can do better than survive without them. You can find peace and a new life. Help is out there. Talk to someone now and believe you can start anew.

Healing to me means overcoming victim mentality and stepping into my power. It means letting go and forgiving so that I can be free. It means helping others to find their power and see the light within themselves. It means being grateful for the challenges that I have overcome and have made me stronger. Healing means surrendering to a higher power.
Report
Things can get better. You will never fully forget what happened to you, but you will grow around your trauma. It will never disappear, but it doesn't have to have a happy life.
Report
Healing is acceptance and ownership. I am a SA survivor and will always be.
