Cry Wolf Girl by Ariel Slamet Ries

4.0

A short and meaningful parable about the fear, trauma, grief, loneliness and alienation we are often left with after undergoing severe loss and trauma; how the way those around us (our friends, families, and wider communities) often respond to these emotions with discomfort and invalidation, by eschewing them and turning away from us; how, instead, they can sit with us as we experience these emotions, recognise our fears as real, comfort us, and welcome us as we are. What a difference that makes! I think this is especially pertinent to the experience of either having PTSD or loving someone who does.
