N. John Shore writes, When love enters your life, everything changes. When love leaves your life, nothing does. Love flies away today and tomorrow you're exactly where you were before it left...relentlessly and inexplicably, life without love continues, (p. 33, Everywhere She's not, 2019, Laughing Moon Books). And what of our ability to separate ourselves from the reality that doesn't change? To dissociate from the tough emotions? And to distance ourselves from pain? We compartmentalize but then something happens to breaks us apart and reassemble ourselves again. Take the trip from comparmentalizaing to allowing it all in with David, Shore's fictional character. The author's own tragic story forms the crux of his wisdom: He'll share both with us on this week's episode when we'll learn how he and his sister coped with the major loss of their mother in childhood, only to return to their lives. Question: Is it possible to bounce back, though not in the predictable ways to 100%?
