Zojuist gelezen - hoe waar!

Whenever someone sorrows, I do not say: "forget it," or
"it will pass," or "it could be worse" - all of which deny the
integrity of the painful experience.

But I say, to the contrary, "It is worse than you may allow
yourself to think. Delve into the depth. Stay with the feeling.
Think of it as a precious source of knowledge and guidance.

Then and only then will you be ready to face it and
be transformed in the process.
