Please don’t add to your anxiety by believing you must do the impossible. None of us are going to turn this ship around in time to keep it from sinking. Give yourself permission to mourn, permission to let go of impossible tasks, and permission to just be, to be one of Earth’s beloved treasures. Let that be enough for a start.
Acceptance is not submission; it is acknowledgement of the facts of a situation. Then deciding what you’re going to do about it.
