One of the most important skills we will ever learn is how to adjust to a crisis in our lives.  There will be more crises in our future and learning how to handle the pain will help shorten our path. Start right off by keeping a journal so that you can follow your path.  You will be able to re-read it over time and gain a better understanding of your changes and the wisdom you gained.   The adjustment to a single life can be overwhelming - Where to start?  But as you make your our path, you'll discover that despite the emotional trauma you have experienced - personal growth and happiness is still possible. I'm grateful for those that have helped me and I'll be sharing their wisdom with you.  There are some specific ways to find your path and some find it almost immediately, while others are unable to identify a way out because their feelings are buried in their pain.  Fear and denial can be stumbling stones on your path, but once you see and acknowledge them , you will be able to find your way around them. In the next few weeks I will pass on the wisdom of others that have traveled the grief to healing path.  We will work on those feelings that make you reluctant to get back out into the world.  How about you?  Are you stumbling?  Will keep in touch and we will work on it together.
