It's hard to sit and watch people you care for take a tumble in life. We all do our best to support the people we love to make sure that they are doing ok so when the unexpected blow comes it can leave everyone in a bit of a funk.
It's learning what to do next that defines us all. It's learning not to destroy yourself in the process that will help aid the recovery. You can not set yourself on fire to keep them warm. You can not lose so they can win. Life goes on, if your life encounters highs, celebrate them, embrace them. Don't downplay them. You're allowed to be happy.
Your successes might be the kick start they need or they may need more time. nudge them in the right direction, let them find there feet again. Because they will find there feet again. The funk does not last forever though sometimes it feels like it might. Slowly and surely they discover what is the right choice for them to make and they will continue with life. Let them hit the ground as many times as they need to, do not try and cushion the blow, we discover our strength each time we are knocked down and are able to get back up.
Sometimes you have to fall before you can fly. It is when you hit the ground that you really begin to find yourself and discover your strength.
