Quote by Stephanie Foo

“So this is healing, then, the opposite of ambiguous dread: fullness. I am full of anger, pain, peace, love, of horrible shards and exquisite beauty, and the lifelong challenge will be to balance all of those things, while keeping them in the circle. Healing is never final. It is never perfection. But along with the losses are the triumphs.”

“He showed me that words can do more than tell stories, they can heal, and as long as you live inside the dignity of what you write, no one can take that away that what matters most.

(203)”

“You can contribute to someone's happiness but you are not responsible for their choices about happiness. You can contribute to someone's healing process but you are not responsible for their choices around healing themselves. You may make recommendations to someone on a choice but you are not responsible for their choices. All these are outside of what you can control. Hence, the reason why you have to make the choices for choosing yourself...your own happiness, your own healing and your own choices in life.”

“...if I can grasp how valuable I am to God, then perhaps I can engage in the work of healing generational poverty, wounds, trauma, vocational brokenness, and more. If I stay with the question long enough to consider what it means to be loved by God and cared for - even if the love and care I have received from others pale in comparison - then perhaps I can stay with the healing he offers to those he loves.”
