You might be wondering if this feeling will ever end.

Will the spin cycle ever stop?

If you’ve ever struggled with mental health, even a little, you know that it can feel oppressive and hopeless. I’ve had a day, a week or so, and months of struggle over the years.

When you grieve someone who is still alive you have the opportunity to run into them and grieve them over and over. I grieved the final death of family and loved ones. Those are final and hurt like a MF but thankfully you only lose each person once this way. Two of these lead me to lay in the middle of the kitchen floor, cheek to tile, eyes full of tears, trying to breathe.

Life has a way of giving you the experience (lemons) and forcing you to learn (to make lemonade) by throwing you into the deep end.

You might be wondering why being prepared to embrace something newer or better in a willing and enthusiastic way is important.

Well, as you might remember from biology class, as humans, we are in a life cycle which takes us through a series of changes (not all better since puberty and menopause will happen as part of those changes).

Preparation gets you through to the other side!

Change. It’s a word that can invoke a variety of emotions. Change can be exciting, or it can be hard and nerve-wracking. In so many cases, it can be both of these things at once. Of course, we’ve all been dealing with an avalanche of change since the pandemic spread across the globe. Here’s how many people's lives have changed and how you can cope.
