"It's so hard to see the life that we'd planned for years just go up in smoke. We were almost to the gravy."

yes, this is what i grieved, too. however i finally came to believe that i was going to have that anyway, by myself and with any other people in my life. i began to see what was possible instead of what was lost. I was not lost. I still had myself and i was my greatest resource for taking care of me and making an exciting and fulfilling future for ME!

grace puts it nicely in her quote:

"It means launching oneself fully into the stream of life. Yet the deeply exciting thing about human beings is that when the individual is inwardly free, he chooses as the good life this process of becoming."
