I’ve had moments when I’ve thought to myself, we should be used to this new “normal” by now and that I should already be past any emotions that pop up. Its important for us to realize that this is a very unpredicatble time and that all of the feelings that pop up are normal and part of this process. I’ve decided that calling a friend and shraing those feelings is the best way for me manage the uneasy feelings. My hope for you is that you too feel comfortable having those conversations with your peeps too,
XO,
