Be grateful even for your grief. Loss is a teacher. Grief and acknowledging your pain is the way to heal that pain. Practicing an attitude of gratitude through radical acceptance and your faith is a very peaceful and positive way to meet life’s challenges. In order for us to grow, create positive healthy change, and learn important things in all stages of life there are losses that we must endure. Losses that we need to embrace with an awareness of what we can control and what cannot control.

Imagine lying on a therapy table as a healer places her hand under the back of your neck. Her touch is gentle, calm, tranquil. She places her other hand lightly onto your left shoulder, then onto your right shoulder. A sensation of tingling warmth ripples through your body. A nagging pain in your lower back [...]
