Suffering a Loss

Just about everyone has suffered a loss. It may be the loss of a family member or your best friend or a pet or your job.

It doesn't mean anyone has died, maybe your pet ran away or your friend moved and ignores your phone calls.

When this happens do you think you deserve it or you don't deserve it. Does it matter? If some one dies do you think of all the bad stuff you have done to them or the bad things you have said. .  you think you have been nothing but nice how did this happen.

How do you react to a loss.

Example It is Friday afternoon and you boss calls you in the office to tell you , you no longer work there.

1. you are thrilled wow there are so many wonderful opportunities out there. You can get a better job.

2. You make the best of a bad situation. You will get by and survive this.

3. You don't care. You are not happy or sad. Monday morn you go to the warehouse across the street maybe you get a job there maybe not.

4. You are sad and depressed you spend hours just laying on the sofa watching tv . This is the worst thing that could happen. Eventually you get over it in time and get another job.

5. You never get over it . You are sad and depressed and you start drinking . You get angry and plot revenge against those who did you wrong. You tell everyone how hard done by you are. You may go to your job and beg or make trouble.

It's not the gravity of the situation but how you react that matters.
