No one can prepare you for the number of losses you will experience in life.

At the end of your life, you will be amazed when you look back and realize how many losses you have suffered.

Every loss will either grow you or break you.

Losses are your teachers.

To thrive you will need to strengthen three skills: Grieving, Accepting and Releasing.

The alternative is to carry unresolved grief and live an increasingly burdened life.

Some people live on the surface their entire lives. They never allow themselves to go deep.

Losses are the doorway to greater emotional and spiritual depth.

Some individuals choose the strategy of avoidance:

“Carry it alone and never talk about it.”

They avoid hard subjects, difficult conversations, and emotional pain.

Closing Thought

You were made for two things – a great love story and to experience painful losses.

Love well—and grieve well.

Prayer

Father, I love You. Please stay close during the difficult times. And I’ll do the same.  Amen
