Quotes:

“Confidence is the deep sense that we can handle the emotional outcome of whatever we face or whatever we pursue.”

“Take time alone — journaling is an awesome thing for this — to reflect what you’re going through and what’s going on.”

“Do you allow yourself to experience and move through unpleasant feelings? Do you allow yourself to express the feelings you do experience, pleasant or unpleasant?”

“Allow yourself to move through the emotions. Those are legitimate responses to a painful or difficult loss.”
