Survival:
When it comes to the possibility of loss of one's life, we have sense of shock, feelings of isolation, and fear. We may notice feelings of being, out of control. I found that it helped me to notice my feelings of sadness, fear, anger, as soon as possible, and give my self permission to feel disappointment, directly. I feel less defensive, sooner when I can do this. For example, I have fewer blaming thoughts and use less denial, when I can acknowledge my emotional pain. Almost as soon as I get to naming the feeling, I am able to move on to constructive thinking and problem solving. Yet, a source of conflict may emerge within us between our values and beliefs about life and the more immediate reality emerging before us.

Values:
When our survival appears to be threatened, some of our basic beliefs in life seem out of line with the new reality. How could God let this happen to me? I've lived a good, clean life. What is true? I feel deceived! The meaning in life seems to have shifted!
