How fitting that today is the three of swords reversed. My family is going through a particularly difficult time, one that we can't talk about, but needless to say it's stressful, and requires a lot of time with my therapist plus some new medications for generalized anxiety disorder - these are all things the three of swords reversed recommends!
As an early October baby, I live a very three of swords life, as that's the card that was prevalent at my birth. It's a constant state of disaster and disaster recovery. Luckily, the reversed three is that recovery period - the bad thing has ended and now we have to learn how to cope after it. Even though it's still a "no" card, it's a positive no - it's a no that requires more time and patience while we deal with the aftermath of terrible things. 
Upright, this three is a card of pain, heartbreak, and sorrow. It could be the end of a job or relationship, an accidental injury or death, or something else causing deep and difficult grief.
Reversed, the terrible events happened but we have overcome - or started to overcome - that pain. We can see the light at the end of the tunnel and are optimistic, reconciling differences, or trying to be positive. Questions answered by reversed Three of Swords: Who? Long-divorced couple; an estranged friend What? The light at the end of the tunnel Where? A grief or support group When? The beginning of October; In the past; Three hours Why? “Even in the midst of devastation, something within us always points the way to freedom.” ~Sharon Salzberg Yes or No?
