“Friendship isn’t only what you can give, it’s what you’re able to receive” This quote from Sheryl Sandberg and Adam Grant really struck a chord with me as I have had a tough few weeks after unexpectedly losing my Mum in March.
Whilst I know I am only on the start of the journey of grief and don’t pretend to know the answers, I have discovered that out of great loss comes incredible moments of love and light. I have been overwhelmed by the kindness from good friends to street cleaners to my fellow swimmers. I have learnt that in these challenging times, it’s important to take what you need from others and stop worrying about whether you are giving back enough or even anything. The important people in your life are there to support you unconditionally.
So how do we continue to build our resilience in difficult times. I have learnt to:
Dealing with life’s challenges is a different journey for each of us. The more we open ourselves up and accept what we are feeling, the more we can and find ways to grow, thrive and find moments of joy.
