The New House

by Tess Stimson

Resilience isn’t just about exercising your strengths: it’s about finding the strength in your weaknesses.

There’s a story in Native American culture that describes the battle between two wolves that live inside us all: one wolf is evil – it is anger, violence, resentment, darkness, despair. The other wolf is good – it’s love, hope, light. Which wolf wins? The one you feed.

Grief shapes you in unexpected ways: you are never the person you once were, but you figure out a way to move through the world.
