Joanna, one thing you must know is that even though positive thinking sometimes attracts positive experiences, it doesn’t mean that you won’t have negative experiences if you are a positive thinker. Many forces besides your thinking affect whatever you experience, and that’s why we invented the word ‘fate’. your positive thinking cannot stop an insect from biting you and neither can it stop a lion from attacking you…But it can help you persevere hardships because it gives you hope..therefore, continue being positive and GO WITH FLOW..Accept whatever happens and try to deal with it in a positive mindset…and also know that some people will always treat you the way you don’t want because everybody lives in his or her personal dream…therefore, my advice to you is JUST BE TOUGH, KEEP STANDING, embrace whatever life throws at you, and stop interacting with these folks that treat you badly…and sorry for the loss of your family…you have gone through a lot and you’re tough,,,so continue being tough
