What I've Learned Through Loss



Losing Bella and my Mom so close together

was the hardest loss I've ever encountered.

I still miss them both tremendously.

Bella, gave me so much friendship and companionship.

I lost both of them six months into David's mission.

I was missing David too.

What I am just now beginning to realize is they all

gave me joy and fulfillment in my life.

But what happens when the things or people that

bring you joy are gone? You are left with yourself.

Now I realize that no matter how much someone or

something adds fulfillment to your life, they cannot be

the ONLY fulfillment in your life.

In the end, you still need to find fulfillment and joy

within yourself living on a daily basis. What brings

you happiness is not always permanent.

So you must always seek to find and do things that bring

you happiness. You must constantly look at each day

and find the beauty in it. Find the little joys in life.

Life may never feel the same for me again

but I still try to appreciate what is there.

I have to.

David is back and I'm happy for him that he is trying

to live his life the best way he can so he will always

be happy too.
