Loss Can Be Growth

This is a period of loss
For many of us.
Loss is hard to take.
Something or someone
Meaningful to us
Is gone,
Perhaps forever.
It fills us
With sadness and regret.
There’s an emptiness
That seeks to be filled.
Let’s view loss as an opportunity.
Take the time to reflect –
What was it that was so meaningful,
That is no longer there?
What we lost was unique,
But the meaning
May be found elsewhere.
We just need to know
What to look for.
A deeper understanding of meaning
And why our loss was so meaningful
Could help us in our journey ahead.
We would be more aware
Of the meaning that matters
And be more focused
In seeking it out.
Growth is about
Finding more meaning.
Loss can give us much more insight
Into the meaning
That will help us to
Grow and flourish
Far beyond
Where we are today.
If we prepare fertile ground,
Flowers will blossom,
And our lives will be a lot richer
And, it’s even possible that
What we have lost
May return,
But with much more richness.
