“Many trauma survivors anxiously wait for their offender(s) to die and aren’t bothered by their death when it occurs, or they feel relieved when their offender(s) are finally gone.”
Amanda Ann Gregory, You Don't Need to Forgive: Trauma Recovery on Your Own Terms

Elisabeth Wheatley
“I believe your mother loved you, Amira. I believe she still does.”

Amira felt something in her going hard at that. The old guard dog of anger took a protective stance over that place in her heart where the past had left a gaping wound.”
Elisabeth Wheatley, Daindreth's Outlaw
