Hey@abigail-dantes! Yes, acceptance is the key of all things, when there is acceptance there is growth. Buddaism is the practice of acceptance through suffering, like you point out in this post, it can be beneficial to those needing clarity. They could be told, instead of the changes being mental illness, it's actually the process of life that everyone goes through when our houses need to be cleaned.

I mentioned you in one of my posts as a way to honour your insights. Peace.
