Sending you much love, dear Zippy. I know it's a cliche, but "this, too, will pass." Hold on to all the goodness in your life, in life itself, in fact, and know that you are going to get through this, just like you've done with so many challenges before. I'm so glad to know that you don't feel obliged to constantly be strong and stoic: it's completely natural and healthy to fall apart when the feeling to do so arises. But do reach out if you need help, Zippy, OK? Be well, sweet lady <3
It's not cliche – it's a crucial phrase, though sometimes hard to remember. My dear Mum (@faune) has been saying 'this, too, shall pass' since I was little. You'd think it'd be deeply embedded in my psyche by now. Alas...I suspect I'll be finding ways to remind myself for many decades to come. ;) I appreciate knowing I have your support, dear heart. <3
