Email: My mom is very sick. I am staying positive. (China)
Dear J,
Sorry to hear. Please remember positivity is beneficial but it doesn’t mean turning away from our stress and discomfort. Much positivity can be harmful, we repress emotions.
We need time, space and patience to feel, heal and deal. Let’s look at pain squarely in the face to build inner strength, acceptance and resilience. Let’s lean back, gently allow raw emotions and sentiments to bubble up and steam away. Pursue what makes you happy, while giving her all the love and care she needs.
Stay optimistic, find beauty around and flow in the moment. Women have great courage to face adversities. Keep smiling, believing. Miracles happen, keep the faith.
Wish her speedy recovery.
