You can survive this, however impossible that may seem.

Losing someone or some fundamental anchor in our lives—a marriage, an important job, a pet—can feel like an earthquake, the ground becoming unstable beneath our feet. We all know that loss is a part of life and yet finding our bearings again can feel impossible. Some of us feel our very sense of self in peril. We have brought together some of the best wisdom we have found on walking through this fire and creating a new space for ourselves after loss. Please take heart that every single one of us will walk through this experience, and some are walking beside you right now. You can survive this, however impossible that may seem.
