Three Key Points:
There are so many things that happen in our lives that provide us opportunities to hide from the world or to be seen in a new way. It is a choice. A choice to believe that life is happening to us or for us. Life is actually happening because of us. We are the creator or co-creator of every circumstance in our lives.
When we have circumstances in our lives that our painful, where we experience loss, we have a choice. We can let it destroy us or take us deep into the darkness or we can find a way to support ourselves in using it to be more and live bigger.
A loss of a loved one can define us or refine us. We have the choice. There can be and is a gift even in death. We can choose to find the gift and expand from it. Or we can let the loss take control and keep us from experience live in a way that supports us and honor the life of the one that has transitioned.
