Ellen has suffered the unexpected loss of her baby. She has experienced enormous pain that has
shaken her to the core. Her soul has
been ripped open. While she can’t do
anything about was has already happened, there are some concepts that she needs
to understand which are important to in the recovery and restoration process.
The most important learning, is that you have a new
perspective on everything. You have lost
something that is invaluable and not replaceable. This enables you to understand what is truly
important on The Road. What things warrant
your attention, your affection, concern, interest, focus and treasure. This is an incredibly valuable trait to attain.
You will now view everything in life through the lens this
event. It becomes natural, you won’t even realize you are doing it. It impacts how you view life and therefore how
you live life. You will be able to keep
calm when others panic because you know what a “life and death” situation is
and what it is not, because you have literally experienced it.
Jesus said “Blessed are those who mourn because shall be
comforted”. We tend to think comfort is
something that happens for a limited time, in the short term. But maybe this new perspective on life means
the mourner is comforted the rest of his life.
Could the pain be temporary and the comfort long-lasting?
If you keeping looking back on the event, you grow
bitter. Your pain is extended and your
strength is sapped. If you are able
focus on moving forward and use whatever beneficial things you are able to
extract from your tragedy, The Road becomes smooths out over time.
Fortunately, I can tell that Ellen does indeed have this
new perspective and she has acquired it much sooner than most. She is back on The Road and that is a great
thing.
