What happens when life goes dark?
Have you ever struggled with moments of crushing pain?
Would you name this unsettled feeling despair?
What caused this for you? How do you move on?
This may be the biggest challenged for all of us.
Losing hope. Deep pain. Serious loss.
How do you find new ways of being and healing in this?

Sometimes our life gets washed clean. Everything feels destroyed.
From there, we begin again. It's that simple. And that challenging.
This kind of loss and heartache asks for baby steps. For crisis mode.
Our usual coping styles won't work. We have to start over.
And be in the moment fully. With all of its pain and confusion.
Only a deep pause and a reevaluation of everything.
And this only after truly caring for oneself and deep listening.
How will you name what you're experiencing. How will you trust again?
Only by going through it will you know what deeply matters to you.
May you trust yourself enough to move slowly and with timeless care.
