Today you’re a grief counselor. Matt is coming in later today, he lost his mother 3 weeks ago. Out there in the real world he’s a rock on which his family rests. But in here, he breaks. In two hours Matt will walk into your office with all the strength anyone could ever ask for. He’s going sit down and say these words: “I don’t want to talk today, I just want to cry for a while” Don’t do anything, just sit there and watch the man become a boy. Thirty minutes after, he will get up and smile at you. I hope you’re ready for today; because you’re not going to believe how powerful Matt is when he leaves your office!

We all need to break now and then. Find a safe place, and don’t hold back!
we really do!!!
ReplyDeleteI completely agree... It is very healthy to break down once in a while.
ReplyDeleteI often feel like a new person after a proper break-down! Amazing post!
ReplyDeleteThis really spoke to me today, Louis. I cried not only at home, but I bawled like a baby ALL the way to work this morning. Ugh! So, I have to think..."watch out world! Here comes 'Paris'"!!!
ReplyDeleteWe all need a break sometimes
ReplyDeleteShort but incredibly powerful post!
ReplyDeleteIts from horrible situations that great people rises.
These posts are awesome Louis.
ReplyDelete<3 I love this.... as usual.
ReplyDeleteI love your soul...Your words are so powerful and speak to me on so many volumes as you already know...Don't stop!
ReplyDeleteI have decided that if there were more men like you in the world, the things I write about would be much simpler haha. xoxo.
ReplyDeleteI agree, find a safe place and cry as much as you can.

Yeah, we all need a break once in a while.
ReplyDeletetnx for following my blogs.however, I am moving them to one site at http://elishagayhidalgo.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeletehope to see you there!Thanks!
I break often. I haven't found anyone that I'm comfortable breaking in front of yet. Every time I think that I'm close, the person ends up doing something that shows me they wouldn't be able to be my rock for a moment.
ReplyDeleteThe search goes on.
First of all... as usual between us... amanda took the words out of my mouth.
ReplyDeleteI "just" came here to tell you how much I love the words you left here on her second last post... but you dissarmed me.
You just wrote what I need to hear... now I have to "live by it" and make it "real".
Will you marry me? [Kidding! It's 3 am and I'm turning wacko here... forget it!]
Love,
Wow! I linked over to your blog from Christina's blog. Very powerful words. I think breaking down is a sort of cleansing. I always feel better after one.

I'm back! I just wanted to say that even the look of your blog has a calming effect to it. : )
ReplyDeleteWow. this is so compeeling. I love your writing. You are so deep. Yes, this si so true. I have no problem breaking--problem is putting pieces back togehre again and again. Each time gets harder.
