Taking Charge with Schizoaffective Disorder

Thank you for your support. I am still grieving and will for awhile, but I am practicing peaceful meditation and am able to let go of the things I could not control or change. It finally feels good to take charge of my life once again. Painting I did of ‘Grieving.’ Thanks Sherry
