Loss

(dedicated to my precious friend, MBL)

A human life is a story told by God.

~Hans Christian Andersen

Loss

Who really knows why we must lose the most precious things in life but it seems to be a part of our journey. Loss of an item, a job, a relationship or even a loved one can be absolutely devastating. It may paralyze us for a while. We may questions who we are, what we believe in or even how we feel about ourselves. It can be the hardest thing to ever experience. If we can learn that loss is not an true end though but a beginning to a new chapter in our lives, we can then start to heal from the hurt and pain. We are supposed to love, despite the loss, and believe that there is a lesson in everything we experience. Loss is not meant to stop us from living; it is meant to get us to expand our hearts even more. It can also make us aware of things that we never were open to before.
