I didn't love the idea of reading a self help book but it was so much more than that. One thing you said reminded me of something we read in there. Or I read it somewhere else but I'm attributing it to that book. She said that you have to allow yourself to grieve when life changes or when what you thought was going to happen will now never happen. Or it was grieve for the life you had or the life you are now never going to have. But allowing yourself to grieve allows it to be real and worth your time to process it. We went through having a second baby and leaving the church at the same time. It was a deep dark lonely place. But allowing myself to grieve and then process means the other end is full of less guilt and more acceptance and love. Thank you for sharing your life with us on the internet. It's been a long time since we've talked, but I still consider you a friend of mine.
