Hope During the COVID-19 Crisis ...and our favorite memes We want to support you during this Coronavirus pandemic. First, we must acknowledge how difficult it is, and how much courage it requires, to continue infidelity recovery work during this crisis. While there are many helpful practices you can do at home during this time of social distancing, the truth is that we all need community and connection with people who get what we’re going through. We have that community here for you. What we’re doing to help: EMS Weekend is going virtual! Since travel is not allowed, we’re bringing the entire life-changing EMS Weekend experience to our participants at home. Go here to learn how, and about the $1,000 discount. Our Online Small Group Courses are proving to be a lifeline for thousands of people each week during this pandemic. They’re not only breaking new enrollment records; they’re breaking out of isolation when isolation is at an all-time high. Participants have recently told us: “Great healing work this week. Excited to see where things go with recovery [in spite of] this pandemic.” “I love the group experience and now understand why it’s important to be a part of a community for affair recovery.” “It’s very exciting to be a part of something so life-changing.” Here’s a list of helpful articles we’ve found for coping during this pandemic. We hope you will read them and maybe share them with your mate, with your friends, with your community—we are all in this together! Love Alone Overcomes Fear by Richard Rohr. “Depth is being forced on us by great suffering, which as I like to say, always leads to great love.” That Discomfort You’re Feeling Is Grief from the Harvard Business Review. “If we can name it, perhaps we can manage it.” Taking Care of Your Mental Health During Coronavirus by WhatsYourGrief.com. “When you are grieving, your mental and emotional bandwidth are already strained. Adding external stress and instability can be even harder to cope with than it would be otherwise. Taking care of your mental health during the coronavirus is especially important.” Finally, the Affair Recovery staff has supported each other in this stressful time by finding and sharing humor, and we want to share it with you as well! Here’s a collection of our favorite memes going around our office over the last two weeks.
