Sudden or gradual, with or without warning, loss can prove minor, major, or complete. We experience our own losses and witness those of loved ones and strangers. Something is taken away often not of our own doing or our own fault. Even though some losses are irreplaceable, we have to find a way to go forward.
Flood, fire, and hurricane can wipe away a lifetime of possessions and life itself. Man-made disasters and accidents can do the same. Health issues may force us to lose physical and mental capabilities, which may or may not be followed by recovery.
When you begin to pose the question, "Why me?" think instead, "Why not me?" The amount of rain that falls on us is beyond our control. What we do afterwards is what determines our survival.
