As if some war needs to waged to determine which is more painful.  I assure you  that you  will absolutely feel a sudden urge to release all your anger out on this person. I know I have numerous times. However, before you do and before I deep dive into this subject I need you to take a deep breath and forgive this person for only understanding from their level of pain.

How do I live comfortably with these memories and emotions? How do I not allow my PTSD or anxiety to control me? PTSD was a steady constant, and I still suffer just not in the same way as the first year. The trauma that we endure doesn't just disappear but it transforms in shapes.

Everyone thinks they understand grief, but its not until you are truly living inside it that you understand it. You could assume that you are prepared for the way you would handle things.

Moments that feel like they will devour us because we don't know how to navigate. 
I don't have the directions either, I only have my experiences and lessons learned to share.
