I don't know how to face today. I just can't.

Hi Centaured,

The anniversary of a trauma, whether it be a death of a loved one or any other event, can be an incredibly difficult challenge. The good thing about days, whether we feel we can face them or not, is that they inevitably pass. How are you going? Are you able to take a bit of time to yourself today? Always here to chat.

Best,

Gems

Gems today been pretty bad. Both physically and mentally.
