DEALING WITH LOSS

There is nothing in life that hurts more than experiencing loss. Everyone has a story of how they felt when they were confronted with loss. Loss comes in different forms to each and every one of us; some experienced loss of investment, some health, properties and other valuables, their prestige some their loved ones etc.

Loss is a general phenomenon that afflicts mankind. But what are we to do when faced with this problem? Of all losses, the worst of all could be said to be the loss of a loved one. Every other loss can be directly or indirectly retrieved but when someone dies, that loss is final but regardless of that loss, we can still have hope in God. 

What to do when you lose a loved one? Take your pain to God in prayer. The loss of a loved one is a deep pain that hurts even our soul. Most times, sympathizers might not know how to console us and this might create a rift. The thing is no matter how hard the loss is, the Great Comforter is always around. He only understands the depth of the pain and He only has the Balm that can soothe our soul. Take the pain to Him. Stop suffering in silence!
