Okay, you asked...in just over a year, I almost lost my son in a car accident, went through a separation, my Mom passed away, the divorce went through, my Dad passed away, handled the estate, yep that pretty much does it. How, are you wondering, did I emerge a better person? Sometimes I wonder that myself, like when I am crying hysterically over the loss of my parents. But I am much much stronger than what I was about 2 years ago. It's amazing how I have used those rocks thrown in my path, well maybe thrown at me...I just stepped on them,over them (or dodged them)and managed somehow to keep on going. I had to, when Mom died I had to be strong for Dad, I certainly wasn't going to let the divorce get to me, it was his loss anyway, when Dad died I had to be strong for my kids, the grandkids he left behind. I had an enormous support system with friends and my aunts and uncles. And my faith, my belief in God.
It was a horrible time in my life, I still have pain from that, still show some stress, but I am a much stronger and better person than what I was.
