Welcome
to My Blog

Life throws lots of stressful situations at us on a regular basis. We do our best to handle it, sometimes by yourself and sometimes with others' advice. Here are some articles that explain what you might be experiencing as a trauma survivor, mourner, or person getting through this complex world, one day at a time. They're not meant to replace diagnosis or medical advice, but they can help you sort some things out for yourself. Hope you enjoy them.
