Life path 11 - personal year 9

Are there any other LP 11’s who can share insights about experiencing your personal year 9?

I’m coming to a close for year 8 and will enter year 9 soon and based on what I’ve read, I’m slightly concerned.

I’ve already dealt with a lot of loss in year 7/8. There’s themes of loss in year 9 and I’m hoping that being an 11 and already experiencing this makes some slight difference.
