CONFRONTING
LOSS
We would be better prepared to face the loss associated with death if we were to accept loss as a natural and ever-present condition of life. Life is not static but dynamic. Nothing can be added without something else being subtracted. Part of this balanced view is acceptance of the fact that birth foreshadows death. As Judith Viorst sees it, “Our losses include not only our separations and departures from those we love, but our conscious losses of romantic dreams, impossible expectations, illusions of freedom and power, illusions of safety - and the loss of our own younger self, the self that thought is would always be unwrinkled and invulnerable and immortal.” Loss is a profound part of life, in fact, it is inextricably linked with its meaning, yet how often we flee from the grief that accompanies it instead of learning how much we have to be grateful for? At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton, we take your concerns seriously, which means that you are listened to and your requests are honored. Call 540-347-3431 and we're happy to lend a hand.
“Losing is the price we pay for living. It is also the source of much of our growth and gain."
-Judith Viorst
