Don ' t mind if I do . <| sep |> Hi there , I just wanted you to know that I read your post , and I ' m sorry things are so hard for you today . It ' s a big thing , and it ' s not always easy , and in my experience , anyway it takes time and patience . A lot of time and patience . I ' m heartened to read that you see and recognize the things you do have to be thankful for , even if they ' re hard to hold onto today . I think it ' s important to have and to hold those things , and to nurture and grow as many new ones as you can . This process is one of growth along so many dimensions , and there ' s so much to embrace , even through the pain . Because there ' s pain , too . And loss . And mourning . I don ' t have practical advice for you today , except maybe to take care of yourself and the people you love as best you can , because you ' re worth it . That , and to know that there are sympathetic ears out here , and that I wish you peace and comfort . Oh , and to be kind . Always be kind
