  I lost my wife to breast cancer 2 years ago this January. I never have been an athlete or care to run a race but after my wife passed, the only thing that helps me in any way is to go running. Running seems to be the only thing I can do that allows my anger, sadness, and loneliness to subside.

  Awesome conversation! 🔥 I've found that endurance is an active meditation in which you have no choice but to listen to your thoughts. That in itself is a great step towards self healing.

  &quot;It&apos;s hard to talk about because it&apos;s mortifying.&quot; Well put! <br><br>The word &quot;mortifying&quot; is profound. It explains something deeper than deep shame. <br><br>My example is when I lived as a newcomer on the small island of St. John and my 19 year son was accused of breaking into a gift shop and stealing something. I was a new member of an art group and I sold my original hand-painted t-shirts to all the gift shops and I really had a very good high profile in the community, but after my son&apos;s crime, people shunned me the very day it happened and I felt so dirty I couldn&apos;t leave my own house for several weeks out of deep death-like shameful shock and deep mortification. It&apos;s been hard to find words for it. <br> I&apos;ve called it a shame attack but it a deep mortification attack. <br><br>Nothing could coax, bribe or coerce me lo leave my house and face the &nbsp;judgmental people. &nbsp;I lost my income so I left everything I had worked for on the island and moved instantly to St. Marten on my last two hundred dollars. Mortification actually vanished until a new humiliation jumped on me.<br><br> (This comment was inspired by the first 60 seconds of this video.) I apologize if it is inappropriately too off topic. I just had to write it. Thanks for reading it.... Best wishes to you.

  I can relate to this guys story in so many ways. &nbsp;Currently rebuilding myself and I&apos;m determined to crush it at the top of the mountain. Or I&apos;ll die trying.
