It sounds like your loss has been turned into profit. You have come through a process that everyone encounters sooner or later, and have become a more complex, more interesting person; one with more to offer, more to share. Yours is an example I'm sure others will find helpful. Thanks again. Thanks for the comment, Sari. It sounds like your loss has been turned into profit.

I think mourning for many people can spiral into a preoccupation with a narrative of sadness. Though healing and cathartic, mourning can feel perplexing...Why did I lose XYZ? I have experienced a significant amount of mourning early in my life... (I am 31). I have come to accept that the loss was inevitable and unpreventable so I can only react naturally and move forward. I just recently let go of my narrative of grief, sadness, despair and decided to reframe it as a life experience that enables me to compassionately relate to others. Fantastic blog!
