From Surviving To Living:
Here’s the greatest truth I can give you right now about loss, building, and beginning again: Sometimes a wall is a door.
We run headlong into a wall that is unforeseen and unforgiving. It hurts like hell. But if we will actually let ourselves hurt, feel it, experience the pain, experience the incapacitation, the injury, lay on the ground for a while, live in the loss instead of trying to spring into frantic action, and prove we’re fine . . .we just might find that the wall was actually a door after all.
