There are certain events in our lives that will cause us pain and create suffering. Sometimes we judge ourselves too harshly for how we show up for these difficult events. We forget that others suffer just like we do, and that our pain does not mean we are weak or not able to handle what is happening. Everything is always changing, and suffering, too, is transient in nature. This awareness can help us ease our suffering, reminding us that life keeps changing and there is still space for joy, peace and possibilities in the days ahead
