Thank you for sharing that, Elisabeth. I’m grateful that I have you and others on Tiny Buddha to walk the path with. I’m going through a particularly rough patch in my life – been sad and grieving for almost a year now. I go through huge growth spurts with self-discovery – something that is so important to me, but I can’t help but wonder about the regular bouts I have of grieving. They always seem to be the same and I feel like I’m back at the start again and it takes A LOT to get back to my non-suffering self.

I wonder if some people go on like this for their whole lives.
