Perhaps it was fear, anger, or other negative emotions?

Have you recovered from your loss or are you still coming to terms with it?

I dont want to give you a false hope that losing a relationship will be replaced with another person.

Sometimes, people leave our life with no explanation.

Regrettably, I dont have all the answers, since I am subject to the same fate.

However, theres one thing Ive learned.

For example, I lost my father to throw in 2 diabetes well before his time.

It soon became my quest to understand the connection between mind, body and spirit.

Some of you may have lost your job amid the Coronavirus pandemic.

It may have been a loss in your finances, perhaps the breakup of an intimate relationship.

These things can affect us long after theyre gone.

Therefore, we ought to grieve over our loss and console ourselves before moving on.

We may or may not find meaning in our circumstances.

We can only speculate to put our minds at ease.

Can you relate to this?

Are you still looking for why a benevolent universe can be cruel and unjust sometimes?

I cant explain why unfortunate events happen, and it would be remiss of me to even try.

The universe is barely predictable because life can change at the drop of a hat.

Peoples lives are turned upside down and theyre forced into hopeless situations with no prior warning.

It gives us the gift of wisdom, resiliency, humility, compassion, and strength of character.

The one common denominator to their enduranceis the will to live.

Viktor Frankl described this idea in his book,Mans Search for Meaning.

Hardship strengthens our resolve and helps us decide what is important in our lives.

Our pain becomes the healing agent to heal others pain and suffering.

When people lose something of importance, some find a deeper meaning in their disaster.

Some start social causes devoted to helping the lives of those affected by these tragic events.

Our mind justifies these thoughts to make sense of unfortunate events.

Life is doing its job while supporting our personal growth.

After all, it was the Greek philosopher Aristotle who said, Nature abhors a vacuum.

Meaning: something of equal value or better will fill its place.
