The Value of Grief

“Never forget 3 types of people in your life: 1. Who helped you in your difficult times. 2. Who left you in your difficult times. 3. Who put you in a difficult time. -Unknown

We all hate grief and want it to go away as fast as possible whenever it comes. Unfortunately, nobody can control that aspect of our lives. At various periods in our lives, we’re happy and at other times, sad. Since it’s unavoidable, the best thing to do is to learn from it. When you’re sad, it feels like the end of the world. It feels like the cycle of doom will never end. Once it does, however, it leaves some valuable lessons behind. Firstly, it teaches you who your true friends are. Secondly, it teaches you certain paths to avoid in the future. And lastly, it teaches you never to take moments of happiness for granted. We all hate sadness. But since it’s not going away, we might as well utilize it for what it’s worth.
