The Other Side of Loss
Hello Everyone:
Since the topic of the month is attachment and letting go, I have been thinking back on the losses in my life and what was waiting for me on the other side. I know that some losses are easier than others. I know some of you have experienced horrific losses that you may never completely recover from. But the heart has an uncanny ability to heal even if sometimes this requires more time than we’d like. The nice thing about getting older is that you have more life experience to draw on in challenging times. I know from past experience that the grieving process is truly time limited. I know that while I may feel sad about letting go of something today, that I will not feel sad forever. I know that life is full of unexpected surprises and that new and wonderful things will come my way.
So the next time you work through a loss remember to embrace the moment. Try not to resist. Be willing to go within and learn something about yourself. Know that this moment is only this moment and nothing more. Look at it as a time to prepare yourself for the new, while letting go of what was. It is a reawakening and preparation for certain things to come. Looking back on the losses in my life, I can see the gifts. More often than not better things have come my way - better business opportunities, better relationships, and better life circumstances.
Think back on your life. What did you find on the other side of loss? What was waiting for you? What new and better things did you create out of letting go? Once you’ve found the gifts, remember them. Remind yourself of the other side of loss when it comes around again. Because…. it always will.
What are your thoughts on this subject?
We want to know because….Your life matters!
Take care and till next time,
Julie
