About

Ever since you experienced that profound loss, your life has been turned upside down. In some ways, the initial shock and disorientation were easier to handle than this. You were devastated, but that was expected, so the whirlwind of emotions was justifiable. But the dust has begun to settle, and it’s time to start thinking about how you’ll get on with the rest of your life. “What do I do now?” “Who am I?” “Will things ever feel right again?” You used to feel confident and full of purpose, but now insecurity and uncertainty plague you night and day. You can’t imagine yourself ever getting past this profound grief. It feels hopeless.
