In Journey Beyond Hardship, author Greg Pacini offers a down-to-earth and compelling manual for making your way through difficult times.
You may be fighting with all your might to leave an abusive relationship or to recover from an addiction. Your body may be altered by illness or injury, and the adjustment may seem more than you can bear. Miscarriage may have you mourning more than you imagined possible. You may be picking up the pieces of your life after a natural disaster. You may be heartbroken. You may be a target of prejudice. You may be in terror at the news of a diagnosis. You may be struggling after months without work. Your life may feel empty for some clear reason or no reason at all.
Whatever the source, if something continues to be hard for you, then it is hardship.
Difficult thoughts and feelings come with difficult times. As a guide for these tough times, Journey Beyond Hardship not only provides a road map for the trip--it offers concrete tools for making your way. One technique called Reading the Edges allows you to experience emotions without being overwhelmed by them.
Hope can be hard to come by during times of trauma and tragedy. Journey Beyond Hardship introduces a science-based means for generating hope.
Hardship is part of the human condition. So is the human spirit to overcome.

CHAPTER 1
Packing: Preparing for The Journey
The Healing Journey
Consider, if you will, your hardship as a journey. The beginning of that journey may be very clear to you though the end seems out of sight. The journey might have started years ago—or just yesterday. You may have had time to prepare for the difficulties of that journey or no time at all. You might have been absolutely overwhelmed when the journey began. Or you may have neatly folded up all your feeling, bundled them away, and carried on.
While we can't take the hardship out of humanity, humanity is equipped with an instinct for healing and wholeness. That instinct just seems broken sometimes. And strange as it may sound, the road to healing goes right through hardship, not around.
As you embark on your journey, please be mindful of this: Compassion is the best fuel. Without the highest possible regard for yourself during this time, your pain will grow. If you get angry, anxious or depressed, and then judge yourself for those reactions, your hardship will be amplified. The truth is, if you tended to be angry, anxious or depressed before the hardship, there's a good chance the stress of your trauma will exaggerate those emotions. Compassion for yourself, right now, as you are, will help the pain. You are allowed to be human.
Beginning the Journey
At the beginning of the journey beyond tragedy, horror, joblessness, a diagnosis, an intense divorce, debt, isolation, betrayal, pain, sleeplessness, abuse, alcohol or rage, you may not even be sure of your destination. Actually, that can be a good thing. Sometimes, when you're not sure where you're going, you increase the chances of arriving somewhere different from where you've always been.
For most, hardship begins with a rush of unbearable feelings. Then, one of four things happens. Some people, in spite of the intense emotions, move on. They just take the next step, and then the next. For others, the highly intense emotions take hold and immobilize them. Still others do something with those powerful, difficult feelings called packing. That is, the feelings are so strong and life so demanding they just stop feeling altogether, packing their feelings away. Lastly, many people go forward with their lives, managing some combination of these reactions. All in all, the beginning of the journey is mighty gritty and troublesome. While it's true that good can be found anywhere, hardship by its nature makes good hard to find.
How did your hardship journey begin? Did you have time to prepare? You may have had a quiet sense of knowing that hardship was nearing. Consequently, there may have been time to get ready. Or maybe your hardship came out of nowhere, and in an instant, the world was a very different place.
Were you one of those with a gut feeling that your life was about to change? Deep inside, you may have been putting together small cues or subtle intuitions. For you, when the crippling news came of your hardship, you were stunned, maybe even broken, but not surprised. Perhaps your tragic news came as soldiers knocking on your door, somberly delivering confirmation of fears about your son or daughter in an overseas war. Or it could be, your hardship began with devastating lab results that validated an instinct about your unborn child.
Perhaps for you, the inner rumblings that kept you up at night were proven right when your spouse walked away from the dinner table saying, "I'm in love with someone else." Or the hardship may have begun for you as all the pieces fell uncomfortably into place with the announcement at a staff meeting of major job cuts.
On the other hand, your hardship may have come with no time for you to prepare. Many life traumas arrive with no warning: a phone call informs you of the accidental death of your spouse; a normal day at work becomes something very different when a machine malfunction takes your sight; a routine colonoscopy quickly becomes anything but routine when you awake to the news of a cancer diagnosis; a walk to your car at the mall turns into a horrific violation in the parking lot; a scream from next-door calls you to the aid of a neighbor whose spouse had committed suicide; a natural disaster leveled your home in a matter of minutes. In these cases, nothing hints at the start of the hardship journey.
Packing for the Journey
Whether your hardship unfolded with warning or with no notice at all, in the beginning of the journey, things change drastically, and it's challenging to keep pace. You can feel sick on emotion. You can't catch up with yourself. On top of your emotional upheaval, there are often many urgent practical matters needing attention. As a result, painful thoughts and feelings can take a back seat. It's OK.
This is packing: tucking away difficult images and emotions that can flood you at the beginning of the journey beyond hardship. Packing affords you the energy and focus needed for daily life.
Just like preparing for a trip, packing in this sense can be a way to get ready for the journey ahead. Packing can steady you emotionally, mentally or relationally for the coming days, months or even years on the hardship road.
This is a strained, strange and unstable stage of the journey. The mind whirls. The body suffers. The heart aches. And yet in this most vulnerable time, you're asked to keep functioning in the world because the world keeps going with its jobs and responsibilities and demands for your time.
In those early weeks of your journey, did you feel lost? Did you wish you had a map? Did you wonder who was driving? Did you hope it wasn't you? Maybe you felt a surge of sureness about your travels. Perhaps you felt a rush of certainty and strength, deeply aware of what was being called for at this moment in your life. Too, you may have felt a shift in the way you viewed the people you care about. Maybe you started to act differently with them—more loving or more distant.
Perhaps you felt terribly alone. Maybe you found a trusted person you could talk to about your fear, your terror.
You may have rallied your faith in something or someone, or just sat and wondered. You may have fought wave after wave of feeling, or perhaps you stepped out of that ocean altogether. Maybe you caught yourself spending hours on the Internet looking for answers or direction. Perhaps you asked cloaked questions of family, friends or professionals, testing some sixth sense against a harder reality.
In preparing, you may have withdrawn from your usual ways, or maybe you noticed yourself racing. Could be, you began to pack away your hope. Did you box up your fear, confusion, disillusionment, anger, or sadness? Did you pack for your family?
At the start, it's often just about the next step: arrangements to be made, appointments to set and keep, emergency management, loved ones to see, insurance companies to call. Then more follow up. Consequently, you may have bypassed part or all of the initial emotions, knowing your strength was needed to contend with all this external activity.
What do people do with the bouts of sorrow, fear, hurt and more that can come at the beginning of the journey? Some pack those feelings away. Others say to themselves, "I can do this, I've handled worse." Others collapse quietly alone somewhere. Some cry. Some die inside for a minute. Some, way down in there someplace, whisper, "Why me?" Others proclaim, "Why not me!?" Many seek comfort in an explanation. Others pray. Some push others out of the way and say, "Let me do the driving." Still others make absolutely certain that their circle of support is in place.
Additionally, some experience shame: "I brought this on with my own hectic life," or, "I should have seen this coming." Others feel blame: "If it weren't for you, things would be different," or, "How could God let this happen?" And still others stuff all the courage, trust, love, confidence, and peace they can possibly fit in their emotional suitcase.
Some lives stop altogether when hardship hits: too much to feel, too much to see, too much to hear. Each reaction has its place. None is better than the other.
Later, you will unpack from your journey. But packing is typical and often necessary in the beginning. Now it's time to leave home.
CHAPTER 2Leaving Home—The Familiar
Leaving The Familiar Behind
As with most trips, on the journey through hardship once the packing is finished, you leave home. And what is home? Home is where you dangle your legs from the kitchen counter late at night, eating a cold piece of chicken while your spouse snacks on homemade coffee cake. When life is good, home is a place of comfort, peace, passion, acceptance, and familiarity. Home is a place you know.
When the journey beyond hardship begins, you leave the familiar. You leave the comfort of a well-known way of life for a place about which you know little. When you leave this metaphorical home, this place of comfort, what else is left behind? Some leave behind a fear they've lived with all their lives. Others, especially in the beginning, leave their peace and hope. Some leave the rocky road of personal issues. Like magic, tragedy can lift years of marital discord or tension within a family, as all unite to take on the trauma. Others leave shaky relationships outright, trusting such decisions will make them feel better and enable them to take on the challenge life has served up. Still others find a deeper connection to themselves.
Leaving Parts of the Personality
Jeff was thirty-nine years old when his wife died suddenly of a heart attack. The sudden loss left him adrift. As if the grief weren't enough, Jeff, a nurse, battled deep feelings of guilt about not recognizing his wife's symptoms. But most of the guilt was tucked away because he was consumed with his role as the sole caretaker of three children.
Jeff began counseling about ten months after his wife's death. Jeff had been professionally taking care of people all his adult life. When immersed in the experience of letting others help him, especially when it came to the children, Jeff realized something.
Pushing past uncomfortable emotions he revealed, "I wouldn't wish this situation on anybody. But it's changed me. I've spent all my life caring for others. When Sharon's death forced me to surrender to being cared for by others, I felt a sort of melting in me. I didn't understand it at first. Actually, I resisted it," Jeff said.
When I invited him to explain, Jeff continued, "I resisted letting others help me out. It's not something I've really ever had a lot of. But once I let go to that help, it was like medicine to me. That's when I realized that being cared for was what I wanted."
Jeff finished emphatically, "All these years of caring for others, I've been giving what I've always wanted to get."
Jeff's hardship helped him leave the safe ground of always serving others. Being served can be very unnerving for a caregiver. Jeff's strength allowed the tragedy to teach him, and his emotional life eventually improved. This can happen when we leave the familiar.
Leaving Relationships In Subtle Ways
Others traveling the journey beyond hardship find themselves leaving well-worn ways of relating to immediate family members. Karen was twenty-seven when her doctor said, "Your white cell counts are very elevated. Further testing is needed, but it's most likely you have leukemia. I'm sorry."
Three or four sessions into our work together after the diagnosis, Karen reported a change in how she was acting with her two daughters.
"I'm finding things to do on the weekends so I don't have to be at home with the girls," Karen shared. When I asked her about these choices with her girls she explained, "I think it helps me to just stay busy, but I'm not sure. The whole thing scares me."
I suggested that she consider listening to what was going on inside the next few times she made plans that didn't include her daughters. Identifying those feelings in the moment could help her understand her actions.
It wasn't long before Karen began to unpeel her emotions about the changing relationship with her daughters. Yes, staying busy did help her. Then she realized that there was a pain under the busyness. The pain was strongest around her girls. Eventually, she discovered a collision between her love for her daughters and the fear of something happening to herself. She was unconsciously leaving her children a little bit at a time, to lessen the blow of the permanent separation she feared.
In time, Karen also uncovered at an even deeper level something that surprised her. She felt a tinge of jealousy for the exuberance and carefree ways of people she saw in public places like malls and schoolyards. She even admitted some of this same jealousy for her life-loving daughters. Driven by all these feelings, Karen had left home: left the more familiar, connected relationship she had with her children prior to the diagnosis.
Other Ways of Leaving the Familiar
Like Karen, many traveling the hardship road find it difficult to be around happy people. Happiness seems to be in the rear view mirror and getting farther away.
Others move away from believing they are part of the "normal" world. Some say goodbye to their sense of invincibility. Some pull away from their spirituality. Many part with a feeling of control about life. For many, independence and self-assurance seem like they've been left behind.
Finally, some disconnect from a mind that can sometimes be still, concentrate, or remember. They disconnect from a deep knowing that A plus B does equal C. And those closest to the person dealing with hardship detach from many of the very same things—sometimes more.
Leaving things behind at this point in the journey is really the experience of loss, and loss brings its own set of feelings. But with so much external activity at the start of the journey beyond, this loss often goes unnoticed. When intense emotions overwhelm us, it may feel like we've lost ourselves.
It's important to remember that leaving home is just a beginning. Leaving something behind doesn't mean you can't return to it later.
CHAPTER 3On The Road: Beginning the Recovery Process
We're Not in Kansas Anymore
"There's no place like home. There's no place like home." Comfort is a common wish as the journey unfolds, but hardship takes us to unfamiliar lands. Whether your hardship has been the loss of a loved one, relocation, financial downfall, fending off addiction or some other difficulty, life is not the same. More importantly, going forward may mean driving through some very rough terrain: lifestyle modifications, moving, mourning, rehabilitation, repairing the relationship with yourself and others. Getting up the steam needed to head down the road may seem hard to do.
How do you begin to move forward from the confounding and unearthing experiences that make up life hardships? To be sure, there is no formula. We fumble and stumble at times just to stay upright. Sometimes even that seems like a tall order.
Those who got back on track relatively quickly after a life tragedy are fortunate. If, however, you're having a hard time regaining your balance after a hardship, here's a look at some fundamentals that may help you move in the direction you want.
Your Approach
Traveling down the road after tragedy can feel like driving in the dark with your headlights off. In part, this is because of changes inside you. Your life was moving along nicely, or, at the very least, you were finding your way around the life you called your own. Then, hardship rearranged all that. As a result, you may not feel sure of who you are anymore or how to make your way. What once made sense to you really doesn't now; it's as if your compass is broken.
At times like this, an approach to life can operate as a kind of GPS. A guiding principle can stabilize your goings and comings. However, you may feel tragedy shattered your guiding principle. You may not know what you believe anymore.

You can use the enclosed specimen revocation form for this, which however is not mandatory.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
Criteria for exclusion or expiry
The revocation right is not available for contracts

The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
for delivery of sealed products, which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after the delivery;

Standard Business Terms and customer information / data protection declaration
I. Standard business terms
§ 1 Basic provisions
(1) The following terms and conditions of business apply for all contracts concluded with us as the supplier (Moluna GmbH) via the websites AbeBooks and/or ZVAB. Unless otherwise agreed, the inclusion of your own terms and conditions is explicitly rejected.
(2) A ‘consumer’ in the sense of the following regulations is every natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities. The term ‘businessman’ refers to every natural person, legal person or legally responsible partnership that concludes a legal transaction in pursuance of his/its independent professional or commercial activity.
§ 2 Conclusion of the contract
(1) The subject-matter of the contract is the selling of products .
(2) If an article is placed by us with AbeBooks or ZVAB, the activation of the page on AbeBooks or ZVAB shall involve the binding offer to conclude a contract under the terms and conditions contained in the article page.
(3) The contract shall become effective via the online shopping cart system as follows:
The products intended for purchase are moved to the "shopping cart". You can select the "Shopping Cart" using the appropriate buttons on the navigation bar and make changes there at any time.
After calling up the “Checkout” page and entering the required personal data and payment and shipping conditions, all order information is then displayed again on the order summary page.
Before submitting the order, you have the ability once more to review or change any information here (you may also use the "back" button on the Internet browser), or to cancel the purchase.
By clicking the “Buy now” button to submit the order, you declare your legally binding acceptance of the order which makes the contract effective.
(4) The execution of the order and the sending of all the details necessitated by the conclusion of the contract take place via e-mail, in a partially-automated manner. Consequently, you have to ensure that the e-mail address that you have deposited with us is the correct one, and that the receipt of the respective e-mails is guaranteed. In particular, you have to ensure that the respective e-mails are not blocked by a SPAM filter.
§ 3 Right of retention, reservation of proprietary rights
(1) You can only exercise a right of retention if the situation in question involves claims arising from the same contractual relationship.
(2) The goods remain our property until the purchase price is paid in full.
(3) If you are a businessman, the following conditions also apply:
a) We retain ownership of the goods until all the claims arising from the ongoing business relationship have been settled in full. The goods subject to retention of title may not be pledged or transferred by way of security before ownership of the said goods changes hands.
b) You can re-sell the goods within the framework of an orderly transaction. In this regard, you hereby cede all the claims amounting to the magnitude of the billing amount that accrue to you as a result of the re-selling operation to us, and we accept the cession. Furthermore, you are authorised to collect the claim in question. However, insofar as you do not discharge your payment obligations in an orderly fashion, we reserve the right to collect the claim ourselves.
c) In a situation involving the combination and amalgamation of the goods subject to retention of title, we acquire co-ownership of the newly-formed item. This co-ownership corresponds to the ratio that exists between the invoice value of the goods subject to retention of title and the other processed items at the time of processing.
d) If you make a request of this nature, we shall be obligated to release the securities that are due to us, to the extent that the realisable value of our securities exceeds the claim to be secured by more than 10%. We are responsible for selecting the securities to be released.
§ 4 Warranty
(1) The statutory warranty rights are applicable.
(2) As a consumer, you are requested to promptly check the product for completeness, visible defects and transport damage as soon as it is delivered, and promptly disclose your complaints to us and the shipping company in writing. Even if you do not comply with this request, it shall have no effect on your legal warranty claims.
(3) If a characteristic of the goods deviates from the objective requirements, the deviation shall only be deemed to be agreed if you were informed of the same by us before submitting the contractual declaration and the deviation was expressly and separately agreed between the contracting parties.
(4)
Insofar as you are an entrepreneur, the following shall apply in deviation from the above warranty provisions:
a) Only our own specifications and the manufacturer's product description shall be deemed agreed as the quality of the goods, but not other advertising, public promotions and statements by the manufacturer.
b) In the event of defects, we shall, at our discretion, provide warranty by rectification of the defect or subsequent delivery. If the rectification of defects fails, you may, at your option, demand a reduction in price or withdraw from the contract. The rectification of defects shall be deemed to have failed after a second unsuccessful attempt, unless the nature of the goods or the defect or other circumstances indicate otherwise. In the event of rectification of defects, we shall not be obliged to bear the increased costs arising from the transport of the goods to a place other than the place of performance, unless such transport is in accordance with the intended use of the goods.
c) The warranty period shall be one year from delivery of the goods. The shortening of the period shall not apply
- for culpable damage attributable to us arising from injury to life, limb or health and for other damage caused intentionally or by gross negligence;
- insofar as we have fraudulently concealed the defect or have assumed a guarantee for the quality of the item;
- in the case of items which have been used for a building in accordance with their customary use and have caused its defectiveness;
- in the case of statutory rights of recourse that you may assert against us in connection with rights arising from defects.
§ 5 Choice of law, place of fulfilment, jurisdiction
(1) German law shall apply. This choice of law only applies to customers if it does not result in the revocation of the protection guaranteed by the mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which the respective customer’s usual place of residence is located (benefit-of-the-doubt principle).
(2) If you are not a consumer, but a businessman, a legal entity under public law or an institutional fund governed by public law, our place of business is the place of jurisdiction as well as the place of fulfilment for all services that follow from the business relationships that exist with us. The same condition applies to situations in which you are not associated with a general place of jurisdiction in Germany or the EU, as well as situations in which the place of residence or the usual place of residence is not known at the time of commencement of proceedings. This has no bearing on the capacity to call upon the court associated with another place of jurisdiction.
(3) The provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods are explicitly inapplicable.

Data protection declaration
Unless stated otherwise below, the provision of your personal data is neither legally nor contractually obligatory, nor required for conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide your data. Not providing it will have no consequences. This only applies as long as the processing procedures below do not state otherwise.
“Personal data” is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.
Responsible person
Contact us at any time. The contact details of the person responsible for data processing can be found in our legal notice.
Collection, processing, and transfer of personal data in orders
When you submit an order we only collect and use your personal data insofar as this is necessary for the fulfilment and handling of your order as well as processing of your queries. The provision of data is necessary for conclusion of a contract. Failure to provide it will prevent the conclusion of any contract. The processing will occur on the basis of Article 6(1) b) GDPR and is required for the fulfilment of a contract with you.
Your data is transferred here for example to the shipping companies and dropshipping providers, payment service providers, service providers for handling the order and IT service providers that you have selected. We will comply strictly with legal requirements in every case. The scope of data transmission is restricted to a minimum.
Duration of storage
After contractual processing has been completed, the data is initially stored for the duration of the warranty period, then in accordance with the retention periods prescribed by law, especially tax and commercial law, and then deleted after the period has elapsed, unless you have agreed to further processing and use.
Rights of the affected person
If the legal requirements are fulfilled, you have the following rights according to art. 15 to 20 GDPR: Right to information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability. You also have a right of objection against processing based on art. 6 (1) GDPR, and to processing for the purposes of direct marketing, according to art. 21 (1) GDPR.
Right to complain to the regulatory authority
You have the right to complain to the regulatory authority according to art. 77 GDPR if you believe that your data is not being processed legally.
Right to object
If the data processing outlined here is based on our legitimate interests in accordance with Article 6(1)f) GDPR, you have the right for reasons arising from your particular situation to object at any time to the processing of your data with future effect.
If the objection is successful, we will no longer process the personal data, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that outweigh your interests or rights and freedoms, or the processing is intended for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.
