Waiting, Waiting, and More Waiting
Mar 11, 2026
Waiting day after day, days turn into months, months turn into years, and more years. Waiting for the miracle - complete and lasting health and well-being for your loved one - what we call recovery.
5 years, 10 years, some over 30+ years - still waiting. It can suck the life out of us.
What can you do so that you can hang on without being so drained? How can you grasp onto more of life's possibilities, its abundance, more of your own energy as you live your life? Why does this even matter?
Because you have one precious life, it's your journey, not someone else's. And as much as it may disappoint, your loved one's journey is not yours. It is the way of it. And it hurts even more to get in the way, while losing your way. Try this:
1. Give yourself permission to choose you more consistently, to choose your life, and some joy even though there may be struggles and loss.
2. Sit down, get quiet, just allow your body to breathe naturally. It is in these quiet moments that your nervous system slows down and can rest. Rest is a must, these are hard times. Do you have 5 minutes to do something like this? Good! That's more than enough.
3. In those quiet moments, think of something beautiful, something for which you're thankful ... then listen. Perhaps a bit of inspiration comes your way.
When you don't allow for rest, or create some quiet moments, or tap into the breath of life, you can't listen deeply. If you can't listen deeply, you may miss out on some pretty important and transformational opportunities. You miss out on the importance of tapping into your heart and its wisdom. The best guide here on earth. It's an expert on you.
And if you do that, you're connecting with life. And if you do that, you're connecting with peace. And if you do that, you're connecting with love. And if you do that, you're empowering your love.
Enjoy a moment of breathing, and let me know how it feels.
Love wins here!
Peace to you and your family,
Joanne
