Feel the Pain but Remember the Gain

When we suffer loss, the hurt is real. I think it is also important to remember the gain that you have had in your life.
- Be sad for the loss, but be happy for having had them in your life even for a short time.
- Feel the hurt but also remember the happy times that you experienced.
- Recognise the world’s loss, but recognise the contribution they made while they were alive.
- Be sad for the loss of future memories but hold dear the memories of the past.
- Be sad for a while but know that life will bring joy again.
- Be sad for the love lost but feel lucky for having loved.
I hope this helps you, loss is hard but never forget the great gains that a person has brought to your life.
