@ashleygregory757, I apologize for taking so long to answer this fabulous question. The biggest piece of advice I would have told my younger self would have been to not be in such a rush to get married and start a family. Due to always wanting that nuclear family that evaded me in my childhood- I was in such a rush and had so many fears associated with all of my losses. I wish that counseling was something my foster family suggested to me after my high school boyfriend died tragically; but they didn’t even consider it. I was expected to just get over it. Counseling would have helped me immensely to not make hasty decisions that my gut told me were not in my best interest. I was in such a rush because of all of my losses. I wish I’d enjoyed being a single professional to it’s fullest extent- travelling, building career security and financial security on my own.

@dawn-debois, Thank you for your response! As you know, this is all pretty relevant to me at this time, especially being single.

Yes! Health should come first @romylb, but we occasionally forget this.
@dawn-debois your share is very helpful.

Zoey, thank you! I agree your health should come first, but at times things can be complicated.
