          … people who are in the middle
        
        
          of a significant life crisis are so
        
        
          consumed by their emotions that
        
        
          their focus is understandably
        
        
          inward, losing whatever relational
        
        
          perspective they once had.
        
        
          Engaging with a group of people
        
        
          facing similar struggles helps lift
        
        
          part of the “me-centric” focus and
        
        
          contributes to the healing process.
