4. People will show you who they truly are. When times are tough you will see others true colors.
5. You will never go back to being your “old” self.
6. Losing a loved one reminds us of what matters most in life. Don’t lose perspective.
7. Experiencing great loss is an opportunity to drop the ego and live more from your heart.
8. Numbing the pain will make it worse. don’t procrastinate the process. Feel your feelings.
9. Your life was richer and more wonderful because of the love you had.
