Quilting is Better than therapy!

[SuziC]

We had one of those "family crisis" things the past few weeks. At one point i didn't think i would make it through. But i made myself go into my sewing room and start on some donation baby quilts for poor families and sure enough, it is getting me thru!!! Although i cannot change what's happened and my heart is broken, i have learned a very good lesson. "What doesn't Kill you, makes you stronger" so i am going to keep sewing quilt tops together and be thankful for the good things i have.
Thank you for letting me vent!!!!! Happy Quilting to you ALL!!

Thankful that you found something to calm you, hope you continue to gain peace in the face of obstacles you can't control with your sewing.

Suzi; " I have been there - done that" this past year and I totally agree with you. Quilting does heal a broken heart!

I had a crisis a few years ago and I wish now I had quilting to help me through. Luckily I had good friends that wouldn't take my 'no' for an answer. But I will say this as it is the same with any hurting time. The hurt NEVER goes away. Ever. I don't care what people say about time healing all wounds and that it gets better with time because it doesn't and it won't. But one thing does happen, as every day goes by you will get a little stronger. And a little stronger. Some of these days you might fall a little downward again, but you will get back up and march on. Eventually the good days will outnumber the bad and one day you will be strong enough to carry the hurt around like it didn't even bother you. But be patient, you have to go at your own speed on this one. Time doesn't heal things, inner strength does. All the best -Tracy

I completely agree with you, Suzi. I try to get into my sewing room every day, even if it's just to look at some of the beautiful fabrics I have. Being creative has a healing effect on us. I'm sorry to hear you are going through a terrible time. I will pray for you, as I know many others here will too.
