Value of age is it gives you visceral understanding that the journey never ends, the ultimate answer is never “No”, and new opportunities are endlessly creating themselves. Grief and loss at times are simply part of the process.

What’s important is who we choose to be as we go through the grief. If we can allow ourselves to feel the pain but avoid bitterness, learning whatever lessons are inherent in the loss, then we’re stronger and the opportunities are greater on the other side of the hurt we feel now

So right. Elizabeth has been a recent example of how pain can lead to bitterness and ultimately self-sabotage and real damage. One foot in front of the other towards truth and light.

Completely agree,
@marwilliamson! I learned these lessons after my mom died when I was 18. The truths I discovered are the basis of my eBook, 70 Life Lessons I Wish I'd Learned Sooner.

I really think the hurt and bitterness are valid though and deserve to be expressed and heard. What we still have left, and what can never be taken, is our own voice, railing against establishment narratives that tone-police or sideline our pain.
