Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• The worst has passed and I genuinely want to know if this gave me anything real
• The worst of this has finally settled and I’m ready to look at it differently
• There’s a chapter of real pain I keep at arm’s length, and I sense that if I could face it instead of avoiding it, it might be where the deepest meaning lives
• When I think about that hard chapter I swing between “it was pure loss” and “it was secretly a gift,” and neither one feels honest
• I’m in the middle of something genuinely hard and I’m sick of people telling me to look on the bright side
