I learnt that a bad thing can lead to good ones. We had a big tragedy last year - BUT: Everyone that I thought was a close friend that day turned out to be a close friend in reality and at my worst. I deleted a bunch of people from my phone and put some distance to them in real life, but there wasn't one friend in this. I am so grateful for the people I have in my life. And I got so much help and support from people I hadn't expected. I also always liked my employer and coworkers - but their support is overwhelming, I promised my team to invite them for dinner once the mess is over.

I so often hear that people are left alone in such situations - no, a few exceptions aside (who weren't that important for me and didn't tip the balance) it was just amazing to see how wonderful people I have in my life.
