Loss

When it comes to pain and loss, all the clichés are true. Time does heal, albeit slowly. The spirit does triumph, albeit falteringly. We do become stronger, although in the midst of our pain we may feel weaker than ever. We do emerge somehow more whole, despite it feeling like our life has shattered into a million pieces. We do go on – because we have to. And in the darkest hour, the flickering candle is knowing that this too shall pass. Think of these words as a voice from a light and bright part of your future, telling you that you are nothing if not a kick-ass survivor. And more than that, you are designed to seek out the sunshine.
