“How long will it take to get over this?” you may ask yourself.
The truth is that you will never “get over” it, but don’t let
that thought discourage you. After all, what kind of people
would we be if we truly got over it, as if it were something as
trivial as a virus? Your hope lies in getting through it, putting
your loss in its proper perspective, and accepting your life as
it now lies before you, forever changed. If you can do that,
the peace you seek will follow.
