When life changes without warning

When life changes without warning, something inside us changes too.Sometimes it’s a piece of news, a goodbye, or a door that suddenly closes without explanation.The ground we thought was steady shifts, and we find ourselves pushed into an unfamiliar place — both around us and within us.

Anxiety shows up as a desperate attempt to control what can’t be controlled.Grief, often quiet, isn’t just about losing someone — it’s also about letting go of parts of ourselves that no longer fit.

In these moments, it’s common to feel like a stranger to yourself.But maybe that’s where a new meeting begins — with a deeper version of who you are.

Life doesn’t ask for permission to change.But even in the pain, it invites us to begin again.
