I remember reading and re-reading HB's articles over and over in 2014 and 2015. It's funny, I almost forgot about those, probably would have helped to reread them in the last few years. They made sense of my chaos and I felt like I had a friend who understood me, which was so important. She had a gentle and loving way of helping which I am always looking for -- Gerda runs away when hit with a 2x4. I also remember sending her questions, hoping she'd answer one in her forums.
It would be a terrible shame if her site comes down; I wonder if her family is going to keep it up, it will help so many people til the end of time! The articles should at least be printed into a little booklet!
And I think it's a good lesson for us. Look at how HB used her trial, how she grew as a person and helped so many grow. She didn't get to have a long ripe old age with her restored marriage, but no one would ever say her personal journey wasn't powerful, impactful, a huge part of the meaning of her life. A truth for all of us to live by when we idolize an outcome instead of using our lives to create meaning, whatever our lives have handed us.
