When “Life Happens” – Mourning, loss, and its place in growing our future.

“We must stop regarding unpleasant or unexpected things as interruptions of real life. The truth is that interruptions are real life.” ~ C. S. Lewis

Loss. We’ve all suffered it in some way. Whether it be the loss of a family member, or a childhood friendship due to distance, or even a $100 bet with your sister that the Patriots would win the superbowl. It comes in varying degrees of intensity, and even after you’ve felt its nasty sting, it feels impossible to seemingly compare apples to oranges. After all, how do you compare the loss of $100 and your pride to Grandma? You just can’t. But it doesn’t mean both situations aren’t upsetting.

I guess I’m learning that to live, we all live in degrees.
