Please don\u2019t think you need to \u201cget over\u201d it.<\/span>
\n Don\u2019t think you just need to \u201cbe strong.\u201d<\/span>
\n Don\u2019t think you need to \u201cfix yourself.\u201d<\/span><\/h2>\n

Because you\u2019re human, and when you\u2019re human, you\u2019re guaranteed to experience these confusing things called feelings<\/em>.<\/h4>\n

Whether you\u2019ve had your heart stripped wide open from the loss of someone who really meant something to your world, or you\u2019ve had that same heart huddled up tight from a different type of loss\u2014a job, a past, an identity, an opportunity, or even your sense of self\u2014change hurts. Loss hurts. Life<\/em> hurts.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sometimes, experiencing these hurting feelings might not always be the easiest to, well, experience<\/em>. And standard advice to just \u201cfeel your feelings\u201d feels, well, a bit un<\/em>feeling. Generic. Blanket. Clich\u00e9. And far easier said than done, of course.<\/p>\n

Feelings in and of themselves are hard enough. But when you feel alone<\/span> with those feelings, being a human just got a lot harder. While you know those emotions are \u201cnecessary,\u201d you don\u2019t know what, exactly, to do with them<\/em>. So instead of feeling your feelings\u2014you feel lost<\/span>. Lost is confusing. Lost is scary. Lost is lonely.<\/p>\n

Sometimes lost<\/span><\/em> is the dirtiest 4-letter word of all.<\/h2>\n<\/div>
<\/p>\n

But whoever you are, and whatever difficult threshold you face, I want you to hear this:<\/h2>\n

Despite a culture that\u2019s constantly telling you, \u201cYou can do it!\u201d and \u201cThink positive!\u201d …sometimes, you can\u2019t.<\/p>\n

Because you\u2019re a beautiful, tender, emotion-laced human.<\/em> And sometimes, what we all need is another human to help us over the shattered shards of life and through those important changes. Until you can finally look deep within yourself and see the small glimmer of light that was there all along.<\/p>\n

<\/blockquote><\/div>

\n

That light?
\nThat light is the fire in your belly\u2026<\/h3>\n

That light is eagerly waiting for an invitation to come out and shine.<\/em><\/h2>\n

Together, we\u2019ll discover that light.<\/p>\n

No matter how dark it is. No matter how hard it seems. No matter how confused, ripped apart, and broken you feel. Or even if you can\u2019t remember the last time you felt anything at all.<\/p>\n

Because dark and torn open is okay.<\/p>\n

Because paralyzed, numb, and afraid is okay.<\/p>\n

Because upended and in transitional turmoil is okay.<\/p>\n

Because that little crack in your emotions that\u2019s beginning to show is okay<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Because lost?<\/p>\n

Doesn\u2019t have to mean losing yourself.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>

Though the human body is born complete in one moment, the birth of the human heart is an ongoing process. It is being birthed in every experience of your life. Everything that happens to you has the potential to deepen you. It brings to birth within you new territories of the heart. \u2014 John O\u2019Donohue<\/em> <\/p><\/blockquote><\/div>
