The Great Loss

There is the loss of my hearing… and my lord still speaks to me.

There is the loss of my job… and my lord still works with me.

There is the loss of my automobile… and my lord still is driving me.

There is the loss of my home… and my lord still lives with me.

There is the loss of my father…and my lord will always grieve with me.

Loss is a physical and mental sense of a letting go of something or someone, while negativity circles and flows abound. Loss can be harmful, brutal, and filled with heartbreak. But there is a part of life called positivity, and it can do so much more than loss and will give to you gems of this world where loss can’t. Beauty, harmony, and a mix of the most promising of loving times are wonderful aspects of life so reach out for it.

Although loss is held by us all, there will be a time where I must be smarter in dealing with loss when it comes calling to me. Firstly, when face to face regarding loss, I must call upon my support group – be it family or friends. Quite possibly even seek out the world of the professional who might be able to better guide me in dealing with loss.

There are more people than you think who will stand up with you in facing troubled times and stand by you in fronting your troubles. Most people will be glad to help you because, rest assured, they probably have dealt with something very similar too, so they know what you are going through.

I believe that my support group would say, "Don't go it alone…You do not have to fight the ‘good fight’ by yourself”. That’s something I would tell somebody, for sure.

Secondly, remember. Nobody should have to deal with loss alone. Try believing in this when loss is calling and trust in others to help you cope. You need to find out what it is after a loss that will make your life better, stronger, more positive.

We all feel how much loss hurts but tough times can make your spirit tougher, so stay with whatever your faith is and what you have faith in, holding steady using what coping mechanisms and techniques you need to get your life moving forward yet again.

Thirdly, are these 3 steps:

The steps I use to combat loss

1. Believing in myself.

2. Communicating consistently and constantly with the people who would like to and want to support me.

3. "Keep on moving on!” all of us (me and my support group) together moving in positive unison.

Putting faith in you and keeping it there is a powerful way to deal with issues from the past and present. This is always something that I practice daily and diligently. And lest be not forgotten, I always remind myself that no matter what, "My lord will still always love me."
