Chelsea,

Thankyou for your response, you’re totally right about time being the biggest healer – I wish I wasn’t so impatient! I’m sorry to hear you’re feeling lonely too, I can’t even imagine having to go through this without my friends. I hope you’re okay. Overcoming this strange, uncertain time in our lives will only make us stronger and better prepared for change. After all, life is change. Things have to move forward and we will learn to adapt to this. I’m happy we can understand each other’s difficulties and help each other.

If ever you’re feeling like it’s all too much to handle, I like to take a bit of time to write a list of all the positives in my life. I really do believe that making the effort to be positive can change things. That said, its also important to allow yourself to be sad and to really feel that emotion. I always feel better after a good cry – holding it in has never worked for me! I think that acknowledging your sadness is an important step to overcoming it. I keep my ‘positive’ lists in my purse and make sure that I can read them whenever I need to.

I’m thankful you reached out to me and I’m here if ever you need to vent at all 🙂 WE CAN GET THROUGH THIS!
