I have been struggling with a grief issue over the past two years and yes, it is both work and slogging through some tough emotions and yet in the same breath, very transforming. My spiritual self has had such an overhaul or rather a reawakening. So many growth opportunities have arisen, but the work is also sometimes quite scary. I can tell from the little reading I've done so far on this website that I will gain strength. I know I have it already like Dorothy always having had her ruby slippers. I'm striving for wellness. And I'm most thankful that Beth is transitioning from private practice to become a life coach. What a wonderful human being she is and one who is there to help others. Press on woman!

However that was due to the fact that I could in NO WAY express any other emotions. Crying wasn’t allowed, it showed weakness. Forgetting things would have been the death of me. Anger kept me focused on “something” so that I could function in a messed up world. Being happy was never an emotion that I had many dealings with until recently. Guess that brings me to the point of this post. Learning to think and act positive has been in itself a process, of which I have a long way to go. The good news for me is that I now look forward to inching into the unknown, because I truly feel better looking at the positive and good side of myself. Something’s are actually becoming more comfortable just as my old destructive behaviors were my comfort zone, now I have a few healthy ways of dealing with grief and transition. Anything is possible!
