TAKE HOME POINTS FROM THE LARSONS

1. Loss and grief are universal. We all experience some sort of loss and grief at some point in our lives. Whether we are going through the loss of a young child, an older child, a parent, or a spouse, it hurts. It is absolutely painful. It just feels wrong. There is no sense in comparing which experience or which loss is worse. We are all on our own journey and that is okay. We can still go through our own journey alongside the support and companionship of others. No need to compare. Just accept that it is hard. Be aware that this is normal.   
2. If we cannot forgive others, we have often not forgiven ourselves. 
3. Sometimes what is right for us is not right for our spouse. Our answers do not have to be everyone’s answers. This is normal. Once you accept this and learn to just be present and supportive in whatever way is needed, the pain may worsen. 
4. Telling our children they are enough.

WALK AWAY ASKING YOURSELF

• Do I sincerely ask for forgiveness when it truly matters?
• How can I forgive myself when I need compassion and grace?
• How do I process grief?
• What does my emergency fund look like?
