.. is the detriment resulting from losing something or someone. Each of us experience loss in the way of our life in one form or the other in varying degrees. Some manage to go unscathed, some get over it and few unfortunate ones are scarred for the rest of life.
Each one of us experience it in a differnt way;one might lose something or one might lose someone. What it does to the psyche can be very subjective. A few might get bogged down and few others challenge it.
One of the strange things about loss is sometimes we fail to forsee it, even though its in our capacity. We don't feel the vaccum until its really gone. We just run in a little too late. Sometimes there is not a even a hint about it. It just occurs. It leaves you in tatters.
How do you cope with it?
There are many answers and yet not a perfect one. People adopt different ways to beat it. Some think at it objectively and move on. Some sulk for sometime and then move on. Some take their time, assimilate the pain and then move on. And some just can't beat the dirge out of their minds.
As tough as each of the ways is, it helps to remember that Life is still worthwhile.
