Losing something that's really important to you becomes, over time, a gift. Not like being a kid losing sleep on Christmas Eve--in fact, at the time, it's like you're starving and your worst enemy hands you his last shit sandwich. So far, so obvious. But over time you realize that what you've been given is one of the best presents ever--opportunity.
The opportunity to view yourself from a different angle and think o yeah, that's what I look like. The empty space created by loss seeks to be filled by something new--and power comes from the realization that you can choose what flows in to replace it.
