The timeline between Rick being diagnosed with colon cancer and his death spanned nine years. During that time I was not assertive in pursuing my career, took a significant amount of time to take care of Rick and took major financial beatings.
During needed Lenten reflection, I realized that I wasn't doing well for seven years after I got out of college and when I finally got a footing, it probably took that long to get back on my feet after being forced to run away from home flat broke.
I then concluded I am going through the same thing now and I didn't instantly snap back to where I was before all hell broke loose. It'll be a marathon and not a sprint.
Hopefully I can enjoy the process.
