How to move through it? I have been through several life shocks; I believe that my life has just been, in other words, shocking. Recently way more shocking than the norm. I find myself trying to cope with the ending of many cycles for me, and one way is to remember that something ending is the beginning of something new. New cycles have to come through so that the old ones can die. The transition, though, is what makes it very difficult. So how do you sustain yourself through a life shock?
