#3: Taking Time
When bad things happen to us, it can be hard at the moment to imagine that things will ever be okay again; in moments of darkness, it can be difficult to imagine the sun shining again. And it’s okay if it takes you a minute to process what happened.
The important thing is to give yourself time, space, and grace to heal. It might take a moment to feel better, but like a plant that sprouts after lying dormant, you, too, will someday bloom again. And then remember to extend other people the same time, space, and grace to heal from their own pain.
