My 15 year old sister is going through chemotherapy for bone cancer, I'm graduating high school tomorrow, I got too attached in an ending relationship, I have to find a job within a week or so without a car to drive or any parents around town to help me out with trasportation, I'm never gonna see half my HS friends again after tomorrow...
It's just REALLY hard for me to be positive with all of this happening within this small time frame of 1-2 weeks.
Any advice or support would be GREATLY appriciated. |

2. Finding Meaning in Difficult Times
Interview with Mira Kirshenbaum author of Everything Happens for a Reason by MiraKirshenbaum.
Mira is the child of holocaust survivors. Every relative except for her parents were killed by the Nazis in World War II, and she has long struggled with the question “Why?”
I found there were two reasons: First, so I could let go of fear. I shouldn’t have been born, so why should I be afraid of dying? If I’m not afraid of dying, then why should I be afraid of anything? And, the other reason was to have a sense of mission. By my count thirty of my cousins died. Was I spared so I can spend my life going shopping? I’ve gotten the gift of knowing that the meaning of my life involves helping people.
