Death shakes you and breaks you and a crack appears. Sure, this is where the light seeps in over time but before the light fills you, the sorrow fills you deep to the core. An emptiness exists and you have to be patient to wait for it to fill with gratitude you didn’t think would ever come. Gratitude for the life shared that isn’t accompanied by pain.

It's not easy creating work/life boundaries—but here's one I'm firm about: we have dinner together, without devices.

For me, this is a chance to recenter with the people who mean the most to me. It's very seldom a fancy meal, usually quite simple actually. But it is a special opportunity to connect and share. Our lives can be hectic, with everyone running in different directions. Sitting together, enjoying a meal serves as more than just nutrition, it serves as connection as well.

What are your non-negotiables?

Chronic issues leave us overwhelmed in many ways. When we initially experience the onset of symptoms there’s a rush to figure out what’s going on and how to fix them. After months and months of dealing with the stress, exhaustion, and fear of not feeling well, we begin to lose hope.
In the beginning, we may openly share our feelings with family and close friends. However, as long periods of time pass, we tend to go silent and inward.

Many of us don’t want to sound like a hypochondriac.
Many of us don’t want to worry our loved ones.
Many of us don’t want people to see us as weak (even though we are some of the strongest people around!).
Many of us don’t want to admit (out loud) how scary it is.
Many of us don’t want to bring attention to ourselves and how our lives are changing because of our health issues.

There’s a lot that goes on inside that even those closest to us may not fully understand or know about.
Chronic issues tend to move through cycles of high symptom activity and calmer dormancy. We have our own emotional cycles that we move through as well. There are five stages that we can cycle through over and over again: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.
If you are smiling even when you are scared, overwhelmed, anger or any other difficult emotion, know that there are many others, myself included, that do the same.
