Change the furniture around. Open the windows and allow the sunlight to shine on the dust and cobwebs. When the mess is right there in front of you, get out the dust rag and broom and clean it up. Take them out of storage and unpack them. It's never too late to dream, or to work towards the goals we wished for.
Bad things happen to good people, one of the many facts of life.
How we choose to let them shape our lives, is completely up to us. We can become angry and lash out at everyone who crosses our path. We could cry forever, for what happened to us. I chose to start again. It's so much easier to merely crawl into a corner and wait to die, but that could take years.
