The pain of grief and loss can be overwhelming. There are lots of things that leave us feeling empty inside. The death of a loved one, a breakup, a job loss - but it’s not always a monumental, hallmark event. Sometime it’s slower, more subtle, and ongoing losses and pains that affects our core. Sometimes the gravity of our loss doesn’t arrive until much later. So a pain in the past becomes fresh because the affect isn’t always immediate. Often we have no control or choice in what pain brings us. We only get to choose how it affects us. Or so I have been told.
