     Mr. Glen is a millionaire. Five years ago, after returning from abroad to his motherland, he    1    up his small company. Speaking of success, Glen often tells us a story about his    2   expensive "school" fees. He always owes his success to it.

     The day my boyfriend fell to his death,it started to snow,just like any November day,just like the
bottom hadn"t fallen out of my world when he freefell off the roof. His body. when I found it,was lightly
covered with snow. It snowed almost every day for the next four months,while I sat on the couch and
watched it pile up. One morning,I shuffled downstairs and was surprised to see a snowplow clearing
my driveway and the bent back of a woman shoveling(铲)my walk. I dropped to my knees,crawled
through the living room. and back upstairs so those good people would not see me. I was embarrassed.
My first thought was, how would I ever repay them? I didn"t have the strength to brush my hair let alone
shovel someone"s walk.
     Before Jon"s death,I took pride in the fact that I rarely asked for help or favors. I defined myself by
my competence and independence. So who was I if I was no longer capable and busy?How could I
respect myself if all I did was sit on the couch every day and watch the snow fall?
     Learning how to receive the love and support that came my way wash"t easy. Friends cooked for
me and 1 cried because I eouldn"t even help them set the table. "I"m not usually this lazy," I wept. Finally,
my friend Kathy sat down with me and said,"Mary,cooking for you is not a chore. I love you and I want
to do it. It makes me feel good to be able to do something for you. "
     Over and over,I heard similar emotions from the people who supported me during those dark days.
One very wise man told me,"You are not doing nothing. Being fully open to your sorrow may be the
hardest work you will ever do. "
     I am not the person I once wfls,but in many ways I have changed for the better. The fabric of my life
is now woven with gratitude and humility. I have been surprised to. learn that there is incredible freedom
that comes from facing one"s worst fear and walking away whole. I believe there is strength in surrender.
