Thank you for your article! I never thought of having a relationship with my severe chronic depression, embracing my emotions. I’ll have to try that.

This part resonates: "However, in such moments, I firmly believe that instead of rejecting or suppressing these emotions, it's of paramount importance to build a relationship with them." Indeed, that relationship with our feelings helps us to see the whole part of our being. I feel better when I know myself. When I acknowledge the complex entirety of my personality I can make allowances, forgive, delight (even be proud) and thus give myself permission to be. Thanks Mr.P.

Dealing with the loss of a loved one can be very challenging but as you said, it’s an emotional process and healing takes time and patience. Your words are the lighthouse and I really appreciate that you share them with all of us. 🌸🙏🏽

Your joyful dances remind me that joy isn't the same as happiness! Happiness is so transitory and is influenced by things outside of ourselves. Joy is so deep - and can't be changed by the changes and chances of our world! Thank you for your joyous reminder!!
