When you are going through something that challenges you and that you have never faced before it is very difficult to be kind with yourself. This was one of my toughest lessons. There were days that I was so angry that I couldn’t do what I normally could and then I had to remind myself that even though we encourage our kids to always be kind to others it was my time to be kind with myself. I will be able to do everything and more so so soon but for now it was ok to just be and go through the motions.
