Jobs are lost, hearts are broken, plans get changed, things go wrong. We’ve all been there. But when life gives you lemons, how do you cope? How do you navigate through grief with resilience? How do you control your emotions instead of letting them control you? Maybe you have unhealthy coping strategies. Maybe you bury your emotions, talk down to yourself, or power through the day without allowing yourself even a moment of rest and reflection. Sound familiar?
