In Waiting for Dawn, bestselling author Marisa Renee Lee reveals how to prioritize and care for yourself when change you do not want is thrust upon you. Whether it triggers anxiety, grief, or instability, she guides you through the hard times that arise unexpectedly and disrupt your life for an indeterminate period. Uncertainty and fear impact how you interact with and see the world, and your place in it. You manage the loneliness and isolation by convincing others that you are fine. Lee debunks the idea that you must force positivity, and, instead, helps you learn how to hold compassion for yourself in hard times.
Through rich, revelatory prose, Lee assists you in navigating life's unstable and overwhelming moments. Using research and her personal experiences, Lee argues that self-preservation is necessary when life is at its worst. If you are experiencing pain, chronic stress, or loneliness or are burdened with the weight of doubt, Waiting for Dawn brings you from a place of instability to a solid foundation of hope.
Lee shares her two-year journey battling loss and illness-the death of her mother-in-law, ongoing sickness, and the emotional challenges endured-that taught her that healing is about finding your own unique way through the darkness.Waiting for Dawn provides a compass to rediscover your worth and identify how to live well. Darkness is required for things to grow and transform, but it never stays dark forever.
