              LOSS & GRIEF

 The experience of loss, and the
grief that follows are part of the
human experience.
If we are fortunate in our lives we have loving relationships. When separation and loss occur, as inevitably they do, we feel it.
        Some losses are more difficult to navigate than others. And each of us experiences loss in our own unique way. There is no right or wrong way to grieve. It takes as long as it takes and it is what it is. Our experience is dependent upon many variables, our relationship to whom or what has been lost, the circumstances of the loss, our age and stage of life at the time of the loss. 

        We may grow from our loss experience and realize a full life with acceptance of our loss. While our lives will never be the same, or what we hoped they might have been, we still may live gracious, full and joyful lives, content and filled, even after the experience of the deepest and most painful loss. 

        The experience of grieving can be like being on a journey without a map. It can help to have a guide, someone to hold the flashlight, as it were, and a respectful witness to your experience.
