There is a twin paradox in being human. First, no one can live your life
for you—no one can face what is yours to face or feel what is yours to feel—and
no one can make it alone. Secondly, in living our one life, we are here to love
and lose. No one knows why. It is just so. If we commit to loving, we will
inevitably know loss and grief. If we try to avoid loss and grief, we will never
truly love. Yet powerfully and mysteriously, knowing both love and loss is what
brings us fully and deeply alive.

quite a bit about grief. After all, I’d been a psychotherapist in private
practice for
nearly a decade. I worked with hundreds of people—from those wrestling
with
substance addiction and patterns of homelessness to private practice
clients
facing decades-old abuse, trauma, and grief
