Key Takeaways
1. Family is key during these difficult times of change. Being there for one another is essential in assuring a strong community and support system. It’s the little things that count. Small gestures that show you care are what people are going to remember as their lives go on.
2. Acceptance is one of the hardest things to learn. But when you can grasp being able to live alone and be okay with that then you can do anything. Understanding that acceptance is key to motivation is what most people find to be extremely difficult, however, once you pick the pen up for those who were unable to finish writing their story, you will begin to understand the true importance of rememberance, acceptance, and reflection.
