Summary: Accidents, death and Robin Williams can teach you
to turn heartbreak into optimism and action.
As a self-employed member of the sandwich generation, no
matter what happens, I have to try to keep working. In the last five days, my
son broke his foot, my mother sprained her ankle and I learned that a
colleague, 10 years younger than I, was killed in a car accident. And Robin
William died. Talk about a downpour.
My son is halfway across the country, almost 21, and said I
didn't need to come. He has his teammates, trainers, coaches, gf and her
parents. This being the first week of soccer pre-season, it's heartbreaking. I
hope he will learn more about coping with adversity and grow stronger for this
experience.
There's nothing to be done about my colleague who was also
halfway across the country. It's heartbreaking but it reminds me that life is
short and I must try even harder to use my time wisely.

Life seems to be full of pleasant and unpleasant surprises. I have a teenager that doesn't handle change of any kind very well. He also has trouble handling situations that are out of his comfort zone. I hope that a life coach will be able to help him. He needs to learn how to cope with life so that he can live a happy and successful life.
