There really is no way around it. Things change, life changes. Our dreams have to be modified.
And while this is not at all what you wanted, it is what you have. And there are two ways to deal with it. We can continue to look over our shoulder of what should have been, or we can begin to look forward to what can be.
It is a different life than you planned, but, it doesnt have to be a sad one.
Life is what it is. The beauty and the pain.
The trick is to accept all of it. In so doing, we get to experience all depths of emotions.
That is what makes us who we are. It is what makes the laughter and love so sweet and it keeps our memories alive.
You have so many wonderful things in your life - children, family, friends, a good job.
You are an amazing woman and mother. You are strong and smart and capable.
And I have no doubt that you will get through this next part with your strength, your sense of humor and your willinness to look inside.
