Hod sheh b'Chessed. Hod is a gentle time of acceptance, incubation... of surrender.
What if personal adversities interrupt your omer process? Continue when you can! Rabbi Laibl Wolf [2] teaches: "Accepting adversity or pain is ... a characteristic trait of Hod. Hod allows us to step back and shape the experience into a more positive and meaningful essence." [Hod is pronounced hoed]
Take an Omer Walk and be gentle to yourself, for you surrendered your attention to what was needed.
