Topic: Losing Hurts But There Is Always Hope

If you have lost, you know losing hurts. The type of loss your experience makes no difference. Losing hurts because what you had or what you hoped for in the past is somehow gone or diminished. To tell yourself you do not hurt from a loss when the truth is otherwise makes no difference. When we lose, we must remember we can always deal with the loss. When we lose, we may never fully recover from the loss but we can recover enough to move on and move forward. Many of the great contributions to the world come at times when others have hurt the most from a loss because the contributors found hope. We must also remember even when we hurt from the loss we still have the capability to live today and tomorrow as a result of our hope. After a loss, we still have the capability to live again despite the searing pain we feel. Over time, with prayer and with a humble heart, the pain of our losing begins to heal as hope begins to restore us. Although we may hurt deeply in a loss, we can learn to live and be productive again. After a loss, as a result of finding new hope, we can learn to live in new ways and live in new times, even when the new times are quite different than the old times.
