Please take comfort in the knowledge that there is still hope for the journey if you are experiencing early loss. Instead of going through life by ourselves, we are supposed to support one another. Even if it doesn't feel like it right now, I want to share some insights I've gained.

There is no time frame for grieving. Yes, there are distinct and well-discussed phases of mourning, but don't fall for the same trap I did and assume you can cross each one off like a test once you've made it through. It's not like milk cartons that have an expiration date on them. Just put, there isn't one. Bereavement integrates into your identity. It becomes a part of who you are every day. My life was once again peaceful after I came to terms with this.

Bereavement frequently causes one to doubt their belief in God. That "Why" question might follow you around. And, really, would any response suffice for us? I've come to trust in God even if we might never know the answer to this question on this side of heaven. It's what has helped me realize that there is hope for the road even in grief. The closer we get to Him, the more secure and strong we become.

In grief, you become more deliberate. I've learned to have more purpose in everything in my life, even accepting invites and selecting companions with whom to gather. As an illustration, I've learnt to say "no" to social gatherings that don't fit with my values or make me happy and to place a higher priority on spending time with my family and close friends. I stop worrying about the minor things because, after the worst happened to me, I learned how much time we really waste worrying about them. It's amazing how much reflection allows me to see how careless and even silly my concerns were in the past. An experience of loss changes your entire outlook on life.

Please hold on tight if you feel like everything is going dark today, my friends. You will see the light of day once more in your life, I assure you. There are going to be days when you have to accept things as they come, but keep going. We always have optimism for the journey ahead when we endure loss.
