I had one of these last year after my freak accident and the subsequent challenges of learning how to walk again all while having to cancel a lot of photography work opportunities...
When I read this piece a second time my mind started replacing the word 'cry' with 'release' and it brought me a contentment like yeah Charlie is releasing something, doesn't mean it all goes away but perhaps like ships we need to weep our ballasts lest they weigh us down to sink.
Thanks Charlie for this essay. It was a deep reflection for me and I wish I did it more often too.
Thank you for being brave enough to share this very personal processing with us. It's so hard to know how much emotions and physical pain combine to make us miserable. I hope your emotional releases help your body heal faster.
It’s good you had the cry out which I guess it’s for pain, fear and grief that you received so much grace which you wonder if you really deserve.Thank goodness once again!

My deepest sympathies are with you. I couldn't even imagine your pain.
