I never liked that expression " what doesn't kill you makes you stronger." The truth is, sometimes you are weakened by a traumatic experience. Some people end up in psych hospitals. Sopme people never recover.
My feeling is that a crisis, although certainly not welcomed, gives us an opportunity for change. You will not be exactly the same...hopefully, you move forward and gain some wisdom and personal growth for all the wear.
Stigmata, I wish you peace of mind and better things in 2006.
