Jack-Knifed

JackKnifedSometimes it happens that you are cruising along through life, headed down your usual path, when there turns out to be a huge sink-hole that was never there before. Illness, accident, death, divorce—even childbirth or a relationship you never expected, can leave you with your wheels in the air and the wind knocked out of you.

What has helped you to get back on solid ground when life has left you jack-knifed?

One thought on “Jack-Knifed”

  1. Time. Friends and family. Pets – especially my beautiful kitty. Blue sky and sunshine. But mostly Time. My mantra through many such jack-knife experiences – my husband’s heart attack and 5-way bypass surgery when he was only 54, for example – is to keep thinking and saying “This too shall pass.” And it does, at least the worst of it, although many things never go away completely. They just become background noise. Keep breathing! Virginia
