Mind over matter, it really does work!

WOW, you said it, "Positive Must Be Positive." That's how I made it this far because I was told so many different things of what to expect until I was driving myself crazy. When you are down to a point you haven't been before you really don't know what to expect for your recovery.

I soon learned it was one day at a time, do all I had been taught to do and life would be great again. Sure enough that is what happened for me. So in my mind it can happen for you too. Of course losing your husband wasn't easy to endure but you've come a long way since that time.

Coleen said it above, "Mind over matter" and you'll surprise yourself how life can be so great when you live every minute with a positive mindset. Sometimes I see others and how they are doing and that tells me it can work for all survivors. You are doing great and will continue. You are a survivor now!

I agree with Fred 100%, that's what unconsciously I did & worked out well for me, my new normal has more joy & meaning in life today. hope & pray you find that joy soon. I also learned to take one day at a time without any expectations or attachments to results. just flow with life without resisting how life unfolds.
