Healing from Loss, Abandonment, and Fear: When we grow up with fear and shame we
become adults who live with fear and shame. Accompanying these intense feelings
is a pervasive, chronic sense of loss, ranging anywhere from serious to
profound. The sensation of this loss goes by various names--unhappiness,
hopelessness, depression, emptiness, insecurity, anxiety, boredom. Whatever the
words we use, these wounds have troubled our very spirit. We need to change our
course by putting the cause of our pain in its proper perspective.
