For most of us life is not a smooth journey. Huge climaxes then gut wrenching emptiness. Cataclysmic activity in major life events – good or bad, then activity stops and you’re left bewildered and empty.

There are many of us for whom something has happened leaving a mix of fear and emptiness in our lives.
