    Finishing my Camino and feeling incomplete.

    I’m so sorry for the loss of your daughter. I hope you find some comfort.. I will be walking again to try to find some sort of completeness. I never imagined the impact it would have on me. I walked for 2 weeks thinking “why am I not feeling anything” then BAM! Out of nowhere I felt everything...

    Finishing my Camino and feeling incomplete.

    @Peterexpatkiwi thank you for the link to @andonius post. It really helps to see that I am not alone with how I feel. To be honest, i was a bit concerned as I did not understand what or why I was feeling like this. When I talk about my journey I tear up. I’m sure time will take care of this.

    Finishing my Camino and feeling incomplete.

    Thank you all for your replies. I really thought that something was wrong with me. I am so appreciative of your replies and to know this is normal. Of course there was also some guilt that I do not want to go home. Everyone on this forum is so supportive. ♥️♥️

    Finishing my Camino and feeling incomplete.

    Thank you. I didn’t realize the impact. I knew my life would be changed. I just didn’t know how to describe how. But you are so right. Daily life back home it’s about work and responsibilities and walking the Camino you are spot on, our needs did become so basic.

    Finishing my Camino and feeling incomplete.

    Today is Sunday and I finished my Camino from León on Friday. The thing is I am feeling off balanced. I feel like I am not done. Last night I started feeling anxious with the thought of going back home. We fly out back home first thing tomorrow morning.This whole experience feels so surreal...

    LIVE from the Camino Ponferrada to Santiago de Compostela - 205km on the CF

    Thank you for your daily updates! I am one day behind you and will be completing my first Camino tomorrow. I would have loved to have walked the whole Camino but alas.. the reality is I only had a limited amount of dates. So after 12 days, starting from Leon, I will be ending my walk tomorrow...

    Stamping process

    I agree! That’s what I have been doing. I would have loved to get more stamps from churches but a lot of them are closed.

    @LuisaR what albergue in Triacastela is having the bed bug problem? Crossing my fingers it is not where I am staying :-( The place we stayed at in O Cebriero had an ant problem. They got into everything…

    We will be walking any alternate route that takes us away from the highway. I just have a difficult time walking in busy streets/highways.. :)

    LIVE from the Camino Ponferrada to Santiago de Compostela - 205km on the CF

    Hi @LuisaR… I am staying at Villafranca tonight and am not looking forward to the walk tomorrow. We are staying at Casa Navarro in O Cebriero but I feel that the walk may be too much for me. I had a hard time today. I will be sending my backpack ahead of me to make sure I have no problems with...

    Stamping process

    Thank you all for your responses. I worried for no apparent reason. Getting a stamp has been easy except I am finding that a lot of the churches are closed. The weather has been rough also. Walking into Foncebadon was awful. Rain and high wind. Although today in Villafranca del Bierzo the...

    Stamping process

    Hello all! I am starting my Camino tomorrow from Leon. I arrived in Leon tonite and am staying at a hotel before I begin my walk. Question is, when do I get my first stamp? At my accommodation after my first day of walking? Before I begin my walk? Also, I have decided to just go with it and not...

    What pushed or invited or drew you to set off for 'The Camino'?

    Thank you for sharing. This moved me. I am planning to take my brother's ashes when I do my first Camino next month. I do not know where I will be spreading them yet. I figure I will know where when I get there. I especially love what you stated drew you as I feel the same.
