    Acceptance

    Acceptance. When something bad happens—whether an existential crisis or a personal tragedy—the first step is to accept that it has happened.  Unlike prior crises, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, or other disasters, this crisis is not regionalized.  Everyone is a participant.  Once you accept the crisis for what it is, you can start to take the necessary steps to deal with it. Dealing with extreme or crisis situations in the past and what carries forward today; examples from personal life. What to expect in the short term as people begin to slowly grasp the ramifications of the crisis. How to help others transition from denial/anger to acceptance and then on to adapting to the new normal. You would be surprised what you’re capable of when you don’t have a choice—you can overcome the anxiety and uncertainty of this crisis. You are part of a larger legacy of American excellence.
