Val, as you have reminded me we need to feel the emotions to process them. Just don’t let them overwhelm you.
Slow down the flow to a rate you can manage. Do what works for you. I have shot so many arrows to control myself the league will not recognize me next year. What works for you?
Remove yourself from the stimuli if you need to. How many times have we been coached to just walk away rather than get drawn into an argument with or into making a destructive comment to our spouses? DB the family, I am, coworkers too, but that is another story.
Just as we have processed grief, fear and anger too before, you will again. It is a journey over rough terrain my friend, a few bumps and bruises come with the territory.
I don’t think of my faith being tested so much as my focus, and I am usually testing myself.
BITS Me 55, ACK, when did that happen? Doesn't feel like 55 D 30 S 27
