Seek support if necessary, start by changing small things each day and find a creative outlet as this could help healing.

Faith in the universe may have been lost, with a sense of being doomed and lacking spiritual connection. However, problems faced are simply the universe giving opportunities for growth and, by finding something to be grateful for each day, a positive change in outlook can be affected.
