When BD first happens, LBS get into a spiral of panic and worry that the end is upon us. Eventually, many find that the end... never arrives... days, weeks, months and even years later... same ol' same ol'... Lots of promises and idle threats from the WAS about the impending doom... the sky is falling, says chicken little...
A member recently posted the anecdote story about the man who, when arriving at pearly gates, asks God why God did not save him from the flood that ultimately took his life, and God replies that He sent a life boat and helicopter and was surprised the man did not take that salvation.
Hope is like that...
We can HOPE for our M to be saved... which requires us to continue doing the work on ourselves. Every challenge, every setback, and every positive is an opportunity to learn and grow. By growing when the opportunity arises, or creating those opportunities to grow, we can believe that the growth CAN possibly save our M...
Therein is one's hope.
Keep working on yourself and your growth WILL lead to a better future... which MIGHT include saving your M.
