Everything we face in life is as large as it is in OUR world and don't ever think you have to minimize your personal circumstances because someone else wants to beat their chest and brag they did more. It's not a competition and no medals will be awarded at the end.
The "right" people will appear just when you need them. Trust that, please.
Warm regards and best wishes for you.
