Making Loss Matter

I stole this from Jeffrey Overstreet's blog, but I thought it was beautiful.

Loss is transformative if it is met with faith. Faith is our chance to make sense of loss, to cope with the stone that rolls around in the hollow of our stomachs when something we loved, something we thought was forever, is suddenly gone.
