These last couple of months have been, to put it lightly, horrible.
The shock and grief and helplessness that comes from learning that the incredible partner you love and have built a life with for eight years suddenly doesn’t want to be with you anymore has been unbearable.
Moving forward without understanding has been virtually impossible.
Losing Sophie in the midst of all of this has felt like a cruel, sick joke.
And when I say that I couldn’t have done this without support, I mean it.
In addition to your messages, I’ve had family come into town to support me, local friends take me out to dinner or cook for me, far away friends Venmo me or talk to me on the phone for hours. I’ve been seeing a therapist weekly (or more). I’ve been showing myself compassion and grace and have taken life literally one breath at a time.
The week after s**t hit the fan in my relationship, I started a new job and had to learn the ropes, adjust to a new schedule, and still hold space for clients dealing with their own mental health challenges.
And on top of starting a new job and dealing with the the heartbreak and stress that come with divorce itself, I’ve had to find a new place to live, work toward getting the house ready to sell, and figure out how to navigate finances without a teammate again.
I’m not sure a single body was made to navigate all of this at once.
But whether or not it was made for it, IT IS DOING IT.
I’ve always known that we are resilient and adaptable and capable, but I haven’t LIVED it until now.
It fu***ng sucks. A lot. I’m dehydrated from crying. I haven’t slept 6 hours in a row since September. My clothes are hanging off of me because I haven’t been able to eat until recently.
But I’m still here.
And I’m already seeing how this horrible season has made me a better friend, coach, leader, and person.
Some of you have shared privately that you’re going through similar trauma right now, so I write this with the hope that, in addition to saying a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has reached out, it provides solidarity and perspective for those of you who are also navigating this.
I see you. I love you.
We got this.🫶🏼
