At a Loss......

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Referral Group Incorporated

I can remember the overwhelming sadness I felt when I lost my parents and my best friend. Now I am feeling something new and it is something that I can not fully explain, but am experiencing deeply. I have never been afraid before, but I am now. I am afraid that life as we knew it may be gone for good. Oh no.......it isn't healthy and I know it, but I am at a loss. Stay well all.

Hi Sheila,
Life as we know it is constantly changing. It's just not usually forced upon us quite so quickly.  Life is changing dramatically but I am a person of strong faith and I know there will be good to come of this... lots of good.

I lost my parents at a very young age.  It was very tragic and sad, thrusting upon my brother and me many uncomfortable and difficult changes.  As I look back, I can see many blessings that have come about because of it.  I still miss my parents, of course, but I feel so blessed for the many silver linings that came about as a result. 

So, I am focusing on what I can control for now and the reveal of the future... whatever that is. 

Sending you virtual hugs of comfort.

Sheila Anderson - The most effective thing I ever did in life when I was in the dumps is to face the fear headstrong and do something for others. I found I could do a lot of good and I didn't have to be traveling far to do it. I could do a lot by means in which were right at my feet and at my disposal. Please, Sheila, dig deep. Find your strength. Brush your dogs. Pick up the phone. Talk to someone. Be not a afraid. You are a courageous woman who has traveled to places I would never go. I believe in you.

Hi Paul. I have been there and done that, and if this continues muchhhhhh longer I will revisit it. That said it is just a prevailing feeling for now and the gardening will help once the weather warms a bit. TY     Sheila

I like how you don't hold back and you uncover your feelings. May it comfort you to know, others care.

I think when we are isolated like so many of us are, it is easy to feel a little anxiety not normally felt.  I've made a list of activities I can do to pass time.  For the most part I am doing well.

I feel like lots of people felt that way in 1918 when the Spanish flu was around and perhaps even in when so many people died from Hong Kong flu in the early 70s.  I believe in vaccines and heard immunity and I think this too shall pass.  I just hope all the ones I love and care about... are here to see the other side.  I mostly have turned the news off and I wasn't on facebook all day.  I needed a little break myself.
