“Having an immediate goal to work toward and enough shock in the system to fuel it can be an incredibly potent antidote to grief.”
― The Knock at the Door: Three Gold Star Families Bonded by Grief and Purpose
― The Knock at the Door: Three Gold Star Families Bonded by Grief and Purpose
“Maybe every story you tell yourself is a little different:
'If I just lose a few more pounds'...'If I just earn a few more thousand dollars a year'...'If I can just get that guy to notice me...'
'Then I'll be happy. Then I'll be okay.'
When we shed those deceptive stories we tell ourselves, we create a space where we are able to see what actually does make us authentically happy. I bet you'll find you weren't totally off. As I said, we all seek the same things: love, acceptance, purpose. We just look for them in the wrong places.”
