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

• Whenever I let myself remember that everything I love is temporary, it doesn’t make me grateful, it makes me clutch and dread
• I catch myself treating the people and things I love like they’ll always just be there, and I clutch and take them for granted in the same breath
• The good moments slip past me — a meal, my kid at this age, a season of life — and I only really feel them once they’re gone.
• I love the people closest to me but I move through whole days barely seeing them, like they’ve faded into the background
• The good moments slide right past me
