Remember, there is a fine line between sane and insanity. As the old folks say, “keep living.” Life has a way of teaching us lessons and showing us things, we never imagined. Surround yourself with loved ones or support groups are also great assets. Savor precious moments. These are all simple tasks anyone can do to improve quality of life. The strong needs to recharge, restore and heal just as anyone else does. Give yourself a bit of grace to help ease stress and strain. The journey to healing is an ongoing and continuous climb, not a destination. I would be less than honest if I did not admit the pathway to healing and wellbeing includes long-suffering. I am surviving. Others have survived. Remain optimistic. Hope, faith, and action are what you will need to survive when you experience a traumatic loss. HOPE FOR THE FUTURE I am in the beginning stages of the grieving process. Each person moves differently throughout the grieving continuum. One will forever feel a void and myriad of emotions. The only thing I know for sure is to hold on to God’s unchanging hand.There will be more wind, rain and extremely cloudy days and nights. Eventually, the sun rises again. Despite pain, heartache, wind, and rain, I believe joy will come in the morning. gO dIGITAL aDVERTISE WITH Debra A Carr is a life-long learner, cause-minded socialpreneur, social justice advocate, mom, fashion lover, coach, counselor,and social worker.
