There are times in life when things fall apart, when we lose someone or something deeply important that made us feel connected, grounded, or safe. Sometimes many things fall apart at the same time, and it feels like our foundation has been lost, and we are bereft of security.
A friend of mine recently went through a divorce. The end of her marriage came, as many do, with great misunderstanding and pain. The worst part was that she felt like her best friend, her ex-husband, had turned into someone she didn’t know and who seemed to hate her. Naturally, this led to great sorrow and a feeling of helplessness.
