And that, in itself, is enough ...

It's easy to berate yourself after a crisis ..
'I should have done more' or
'I could have done better' is not an
uncommon feeling after a traumatic event.
However, you have to remind yourself that
you handled whatever you had to deal with,
in the only way you could at the time.

Hindsight, is indeed, a wonderful thing,
but it is also unhealthy to reflect by
imagining a situation could have been
any different than the way it was,
or that there could have
been an alternative outcome if only we had
behaved differently.

Sometimes we just have to accept that
'it is what is is', and move on with peace
and forgiveness in our hearts.
The most important thing is knowing
that you cannot turn back the clock and
change anything and that you did your best.

And that, in itself, is enough ...
