Life's Curveballs (Bike and Not Bike Related)

[ASammy1]

Hi ((((Amanda)))),

First of all, I want to say I'm sorry for you and your family's loss... It's never easy to lose a loved one...

I know exactly what you mean about life's curveballs... I lost my job 2 weeks ago. I loved my job and was very content to stay for a long while. I've never said that about a job before, so it felt like a shot to the gut when I found out I was being laid off...

So basically I'm going through the same thing, just for a different reason. It's been miserably hot here too- in the 90s but w/ humidity, so I understand how you feel about not wanting to ride your bikes...

We will get through it... There's lots of good advice already shared on this thread and I really don't have much to add, but I wanted you to know that you are not the only one feeling this way.

I am sorry for your loss. Alzheimer's stinks. My Dad is stage 3 and my FIL died with Alzheimer's.

I want you to repeat after me:

"I give myself permission to take time off the bikes, to rest, to recover, and to meditate and grieve and think of all of the things my nan taught me."

So sorry for your loss. Allow yourself time to grieve, you deserve it!
