When both sadness and disappointment come together, we are left with strong, disorienting feelings of betrayal.
It’s like getting punched in the gut. It’s shocking – and you can’t breath and the pain can hurt so bad that you’d like to pass out.
Take care.
Pick yourself up, and then go sit down. Find a place to catch your breath. Take care of yourself. Then, take care of others who might also be impacted.
“Taking care” means being care-full, filling our world with care – care for self and care for other.
