LIFE GOES ON: 3 Signs You’re Ready to Rebuild After Trauma

It’s no secret that life goes on even when yours feels completely stopped.

Some of the most devastating moments include:

  • Losing someone you love unexpectedly
  • Getting a life-altering diagnosis
  • Going through a painful divorce or breakup
  • Losing a job you counted on

All these experiences leave many of us wondering… “How can life go on when everything feels broken?!”

As someone who has walked through my own dark valleys and helped others navigate theirs, I say, YES. Life goes on, and you can learn to go on with it!

In fact, I’ve seen countless people not just survive trauma, but discover that life goes on in ways more beautiful than they imagined.

Here’s the truth: You don’t have to have it all figured out to start letting life go on around you and through you.

If you’re wondering whether you’re ready to begin rebuilding as life goes on, here are 3 signs that it might be time…

Sign #1: You're Asking "How Does Life Go On From Here?"

When you first experience trauma, the question is usually “Why me?” or “How could this happen?”

But when you start asking “How does life go on from here?” or “What does moving forward look like?” – that’s your spirit beginning to turn toward the future again.

This doesn’t mean you’re “over it” or that you should rush your healing. It just means some part of you is ready to explore how life goes on after everything changed.

Sign #2: You Notice Life Going On Around You (And It Doesn't Hurt as Much)

Maybe you can watch your neighbors going about their routines without feeling bitter that life goes on for them.

Perhaps you’ve started noticing that the world keeps turning – birds still sing, seasons still change, people still laugh – and instead of anger, you feel a tiny spark of curiosity about rejoining that flow.

You’re not looking for big breakthroughs here – just evidence that you can witness life going on without feeling completely disconnected from it.

Sign #3: You Want to Learn How Life Goes On After Trauma

Seriously. The fact that you’re here, looking for guidance about how life goes on after devastating experiences, tells me everything I need to know about your readiness.

You wouldn’t be seeking resources if some part of you didn’t believe that life goes on in meaningful ways.

That spark of hope that life goes on – however small – is enough to start with.

If you’re nodding along thinking “Yes, I want to understand how life goes on from here,” I’ve got something that can help.

I just released a new ebook called “Life Goes On: Finding Your Way Forward After the Storm” – and it’s specifically designed for people who are ready to discover how life goes on after everything falls apart.

Here’s What’s Covered in the “Life Goes On” Ebook:
