You lose love. You lose friends.
You lose pieces of yourself that you never imagined would be gone.
And then, without you even realizing it, these pieces come back.
New love enters. Better friends come along. And a stronger, wiser you
is staring back in the mirror.

I have lost love. I have lost friends. I have faced betrayal (in love, friendship and at the hands of my mother!). I have survived divorce, job loss, near bankruptcy and a health scare. I find I’ve taken a keen interest in how I manage my emotions and thoughts during a crisis, particularly during the not knowing phase. The emotions feel scary. The thoughts are often worse. And thank GOD for my spiritual fall back, because this has allowed me to surrender, as best as possible, and let life be what it is. The brain wants to nail down facts and find solutions, comparing all the various scary scenarios. And this can be a brutal roller coaster ride. For me, leaning into faith brings a sense of calm and makes life feel more manageable. Just sayin’ :) Hugs and good luck. XO
Blessings,
