Thank you for sharing this 💖 even being in different circumstances I find so much to relate to & find comfort in your words, and I am so grateful you share whatever feels right for you and it brings you comfort & joy too. I feel like the world would be a much better place if we all made space to acknowledge the life altering stuff in a way that we need to... I always find it hard to explain to people that acknowledging & accepting the way my life has changed these past few years has been (still is) extremely challenging and yet I feel better for it - when there's not an option of things just being okay, how can I live with it rather than exhausting myself either pretending to be okay or trying to change things I can't actually change!

I agree, there's way too much "shoving the hard staff down and getting on with it" and ultimately, it just doesn't work.

Yes absolutely, have committed to acceptance work for this reason. It is so impactful (but hard for others to understand, as you said). I'm so glad you're able to do this even though it's hard. Sending you so much love xx

Oh Cyrene. This sounds so incredibly tough and scary. I am sending you so much love and I'll be thinking of you - as I often do.

Thank you for showing up in this space as you are right now. This is so courageous and I'm proud of you.

I don't know how you find the words, but somehow you do. That is your gift. And even you get to benefit from it when you read back over your wisdom.

Cyrene, one can only imagine your terrible angst of not speaking of what is going on with you before now. Your clarity of thought at a time like this is quite remarkable. I thank you for pushing through and sharing your situation. I hope it will release you to post away now. You are so wise to be kind to yourself in all of the ways that you can find comfort. A book I read over the summer that you might find a little like stepping into a dream, is, The Magic of Lemon Drop Pie by Rachel Linden. I look forward to catching-up on your previous posts!
