In November of last year, I walked away from a near 20-year relationship with an NPD. Learning about narcissistic abuse is what led me to Aaron's platform. Ready to rebuild myself and my life, I started the High Vibe 101 this week. It began great. I went alcohol free and begun all the homework. I was feeling excited about the future. Then I found lumps in my dog's neck. I took him to the vet. The vet said they are tumors and they have to be removed. While waiting for the surgery appointment, the tumors have grown and spread. He can no longer swallow or close his mouth. I'm trying to be positive, but it is not looking good. He has been my buddy through the toxic relationship and my divorce. Thinking of losing him right now is devastating. I fell of my alcohol-free plan and stopped the lessons. He has surgery tomorrow and we are praying for a miracle. But if he doesn't make it, is it healthy or possible to try to shift into a new version of yourself when you vibrating at a grief level? Should one process the grief first and then start again? I'd like to hear others' experiences with this.
