I was once a person that seemed like I was getting things done, but in reality, I was procrastinating on starting businesses that I really wanted to do. I hid my thoughts and feelings very well.

These are the end times. We hear this sentiment in one way or another from various sources, from the fundamentalist preacher, to the scientist warning us of climate change. This is a time of economic uncertainty, political oppression, and cultural unraveling. Apocalypse, in the ancient world and today, is the experience of disconnection and of unraveling. It is when old gods are dying and the old stories no longer have meaning.

Grief isn’t just psychological - it can have profound effects on your health, your cognitive abilities, and even your desire to live. When you lose a loved one, the world stops making sense. Chances are that you find it difficult to maintain a sense of normalcy, to keep on going when you feel like crawling in bed, curling up in a little ball, and spending the next year under your blanket. While loss is a normal part of our human existence, we are never fully prepared for its impact.
