I really appreciated this article. Yes one must face fear in the face and go through. You cannot go around under or get past. It absorbs you and changes you molding you into hopefully a better person who can contribute more to others and the world. I learned this through the sudden loss of my sweetheart in Dec of 2016. I had to absorb it and go through it. I am learning that many of life's lessons are that way. Thanks @krnel.
