9/11

Where were you when the world stopped turning? Less than a day away and 7 years ago, our world changed forever on 9/11/2001.
Were you working in the towers? nearby? Had loved ones there or were part of the groups who responded shortly after and for weeks on end?
OR perhaps you live in the midwest or across the country from nyc, but on this day you felt like neighbors. As if we are one city, and ofcourse one country.
How do you handle a day like this? Years later..but you still have thoughts of that fateful day. You found it difficult to work near the 9/11 site, you survived but your company closed down or relocated to another part of the state.
You re-evaluated your interest in work period, or your choice of jobs. You became more involved in charities and less involved in the stock market, so to speak.
You still find it difficult to talk about but have found healthy ways to cope.

All of the above statements and reactions are normal and valid. To this day and for days to come you can find services to help you through one of, if not the most difficult crises of our time. I will list those services/websites at the end of this post.

How do you cope with the losses from 9/11? Please share this with our audience and readers.
Did you move away? Did you change your profession? Did you change your attitude on life itself and your priorities?
Where were you on 9/11? What were you doing?
Where are you today with work and your life?

Wherever you are, stay safe and gd bless america!
