What if?

What if?

Are these words defining how you are living your life as a parent?

What if he hangs out with friends who are using drugs? What if she starts drinking again?  What if he overdoses?  What if her mental illness symptoms worsen? 

Are you imagining the worst and always anticipating what may go wrong next?  

When you allow past experiences or scenarios you imagine to cause you to be fearful about the future, you are already living in that grief now.  You are already living as if your worst fear has happened.  

In order to start being present and have some peace, stop projecting.  

The future you are projecting may never come but you will live in it now if you continue on the path of what ifs.  

And living in the grief now will not prepare you for if something does happen, but not being present with your loved ones will rob you of precious time with them.  

Are you struggling with the challenges of having a son or daughter with mental illness or addiction?  I have developed a unique process which provides holistic tools and strategies for navigating grief, loss, pain, hopelessness, overwhelm, and fear that can result from this experience.  In my coaching program I walk with you on your journey, helping you regain your natural emotional resilience and self love and find peace and purpose in your life.  No more living in the what ifs!  To find out more, send me a message.

Sending love and light,
