Hello lynnstefanik89: I am so sorry to hear you have to start 2025 with this hanging over your head. News that is hard to hear is usually best to start out with "I have a good prognosis for what we are all going to be facing this year, and I may need some help and support to keep me looking toward the future with a good outlook to cross bridges as we come to them."
I don't know your background for religion, I don't know if you ever call "family meetings," or how many are in your family or their ages. I assume since you're are midway to 60, that any offspring is in their 30's, I don't know if you are married, but if so, he needs to be the first one to share the news with and ask him how he thinks it would be best to break the news to other family. I don't know if your parents are still alive, or how active they are, or if they are involved in religion, but a senior looking at tough times ahead for their own child will probably need a little more support himself or herself.
Honestly, you need to get your own internal strength from whatever it is you believe in and keep on trucking forward while doing things or reading things or listening to things that uplift your mood. Look into alternatives to feeling sorry for yourself, even when you have a good reason to, and if you have to spend a day crying and getting it out then do so by yourself, but prepare for the headache that comes with it. Yoga and meditation and diffusing essential oils may help you get through the tough periods, but just always be honest with family and friends and tell them what you need because they aren't mind readers and won't know when you want to be left alone, or when you want to hear laughter surrounding you and be a part of it. No matter what, get outside whether to sit, take short walks, enjoy listening to raindrops and thunder, enjoy sunrises and sunsets and look for the moon and stars before going to bed at night, because that keeps you connected to the universe and the beauty offered in Nature that we all take for granted. If you have a space, plant some flowers to care for knowing that they will be dependent on you for TLC so they can grow and flourish and add more life and beauty to the Nature surrounding you. Stay positive when you feel your worst, knowing that the next day will be better then the bad one you are having. Wishing you a hoarde of abundant smiles to achieve each daily goal you set for yourself, and I hope you do set daily goals for yourself, even if it is to just get out of bed and open a door just to feel the air or sunshine on your face.
