Graduation marks something significant. It’s a period-- marking your growth, efforts, discipline, and achievement. It’s the ending of one chapter, and yet it is not an ending in and of itself. It beckons towards what is to become.

You know those times when it just all feels like too much? Like you just want to crawl in bed and stay there? Or crawl down in a hole and curl up and be left alone? During these times the lack of sleep maybe is leaving you with a cumulative sense of exhaustion that envelops you, the isolation is taking its toll, and the grief leaves you devastated and heartbroken.

In all things, a journey through grief is not easy, linear, or straight-forward. There are days of great darkness, and yet buried in there are often cracks of light.
