Kathleen, what a huge disappointment. I know what it’s like to try to sell a home. You have to keep it clean, let other people come in, and rearrange your schedule. Then an offer comes in and you’re already mentally living in your new reality. How truly disappointing that your buyer couldn’t get financed. I would have just cried.

Hope you are having fun with your friend!

I’m sorry that you’ve experienced a large disappointment this month. Disappointments in general are difficult experiences, but the large ones are especially difficult to endure. I hope you can find a way to honor the disappointment your human self is experiencing while also honoring your soul’s perspective that all experiences are meaningful and valid. Take a deep breath and decide that you can let the weight of your disappointment go whenever you are ready. Sending much love…

Hi Annette,
We recently had a big disappointment. We accepted an offer on our home and even had another chosen where we would like to live in NS. A few days later, we find out the buyer didn’t get a pre-approved mortgage and was turned down by the bank because of something in his past.

So, now the house is on the market once again! Guess it wasn’t meant to be? I read through the list of emotions and can honestly say I have experienced quite a few of them. However, I’m walking more and sorting these out, which makes me calmer and helps me realize that it is out of my hands.

The great news is that an old friend of mine is coming to visit from England……haven’t seen her since 1998! Won’t be much sleep happening during this time. When one door closes, another one opens!

Love The Highest Potential……thank you so much.

As ever, Kathleen

Hi Dani!
I agree with you….being disappointed now and then is just a part of life. Looking back at my life, I know that when I was young I didn’t have the skills required to cope with disappointment. Each disappointment was just more proof that I couldn’t have what I wanted in life. With this post on disappointment I wanted to share that dealing with difficult emotions and feelings requires developing new skills…something we can all do. The better we are able to cope with life’s adversities, the more we can trust life itself.

Thanks for your comments. Your Get Happier blog is excellent!
