LBH w/ a WXW after the D - now what

[PigPen]

Tx gave you a lot of good insight G. Think of it this way - there's a huge vacuum that's been created in your identity. Up until now there's been a tiny bit of denial around what's really happening. There has to be.

Here's an analogy that may seem insensitive but isn't meant to be. Imagine having your truck, only you've had it for years, you got it fixed up just the way you liked it, lots of after market upgrades, and it's your pride and joy.

Then one day you get in a brutal accident, the truck gets flipped and completely totaled. You wake up in the hospital and someone asks, "Now what? Are you going to get a Ford, a Chevy? A Toyota?"

You're still in shock. You've got broken bones. AND you haven't even begun the true mourning of your loss. See where I'm going here?

This isn't going to go away any time soon, so breathe. You're right you've got a lot to be grateful for and lot of positives to build on. Up until now you haven't had a chance to build on you, to develop you, to even figure out what direction you want to go in growth and development. It's ok, you're still lying in the hospital bed with IV's going into you!

Today will pass. And so will tomorrow. Day by day if you do it right you can truly develop yourself in any way that you want. You have access to more information and education than at any other time in history, so if there's a subject you like or a skill you want to develop you can. Take it slow though, you're rebuilding a tattered soul and that's going to take time.

One day at a time G.
