We all encounter hassles (the car breaks, the plumbing leaks, we catch a cold) on a regular basis and generally manage to cope; however, catastrophes like the current pandemic are beyond our coping skills. Experiences we cannot readily fix or control challenge us in fundamental ways, indelibly changing our lives—disrupting identity, career, relationships, meaning, hope for the future, our highest god image, and our personal narratives. We will explore experiences of tragic events (both personal and collective), ways to provide self-care and assistance to others, and how to be a help rather than a nuisance when it feels like the bottom is falling out.
