The impact of trauma on our lives can be long-lasting, and it’s important to acknowledge that there’s no quick fix.
While the five stages of grief can help us come to terms with loss, significant life events can lead to a “new normal” that can’t be undone.
It’s essential to recognize that this change isn’t always negative, as healing can also bring newfound strength and joy.
Recovery isn’t about denying the changes that have occurred, but instead accepting them with courage and embracing your new life – flaws, wisdom, and all.
