DOES TIME HEALS ALL?

Most of us, if not all, have been in situations where your heart has been broken, where you are suffocated by the overwhelming weight of the current situation or problem, where you are cornered to act or make a critical decision, and/or where you think that there is no solution and you are at the end of the road. You feel that everything is falling apart, that everything you have built all these years is crumbling and falling and/or that you have no way to stop it or to survive it. You experience a cocktail of emotions going through your body including desperation, pain, sadness, fear, anger, loneliness, numbness, anxiety, depression, panic, irritation, furiousness, etc. You cannot think straight, your brain is cloudy, your breathing is fast, and your blood is boiling.

Not only are we experiencing a completely new way of life due to the COVID-19 pandemic but many are also feeling squeezed by the economic consequences of the pandemic, the controversial political environment in which we are living, and the social unrest and violence currently going on all around. It seems that nothing can get done anymore, that our leaders are just puppets to higher powers, that institutions we could rely upon before are not reliable anymore, and that we, the people, do not count at all anymore.
