This probably isn’t how you imagined your year would look. Chances are you didn’t anticipate a global pandemic, a shelter-in-place order, or having to spend each day wondering when things would return to the way they were. There was no plan for postponing your dream wedding, celebrating your grandson’s birthday through a video call, or mourning the loss of a loved one with far fewer people than they deserved. You didn’t ask for your situation, but you can turn the page on it.
