Life Is Hard...Here's Some Help

By Dr. Virginia Braden

This book was torn from the pages of my own personal journals as I desperately searched for remnants of light in my darkest hours. Though I searched, I did not find a magic formula that could miraculously fix what was wrong. Though I desperately needed one, I did not find a secret pathway that could remove me from the devastating loss, heartache, and pain. Nor did I discover a talisman that could keep the nightmares away and silence the resounding echoes of trauma that reverberated throughout my days and my nights.

What I did discover is the power of being on my own side, of loving myself where I am as I am, of being so very kind to the me that was carrying so much pain. What I did find was the courage to respond to life as it was and an understanding that Light was unafraid of the darkness that fell all around me, and that meant I was never alone. I learned it was okay to be afraid and okay to not have all of the answers. Within that space I was introduced to a version of myself that was big enough to take on the sorrows while intentionally carving out space for joy.

This book is for anyone who finds themselves living in a world they did not expect and struggling to stay afloat in a life permeated by pain and loss, but who has the courage to believe maybe, just maybe, there is more to the story than what has been written thus far. Life is Hard---Here's some Help offers practical bite-sized steps to help you nurture your inner hero and and love the you that has always been hopelessly imperfect and yet fully worthy of love and belonging.
