Please, please do not blame yourself. Self-compassion is an important resource in your recovery.
Forgive yourself for any perceived neglect. Your body needs your love more than at any time. Your
thoughts make a difference in your healing.

You know that you are in shock right now. You are brave. You will find the inner and outer
resources to accept and recover from this as you have with other major challenges in your life.
