Healing,
or Just Managing?

You have gotten remarkably good at getting through the day. Showered, dressed, functioning, even laughing at the right moments. None of that tells you whether you are actually healing or just managing not to fall apart in public.

Think about the private moments when no one needs anything from you and you no longer have to look composed. Your answers will help this reflection see whether you are finding real healing or simply carrying the pain more quietly.
