“You’re grieving. Not only for the person you’ve lost, but for the life you had invisioned. You’re grieving for the future and all the plans and dreams you had in your head. Now that’s all gone. You have to give up the life you’ve planned to find the life that’s waiting for you. All our lives we grow by giving up things, by loss and moving on; big things, little ones – how we handle those losses really defines who we are”
