Life can offer us many challenges having to do with loss.

7). The Secrets of Healing From Within By : Dr. Brenda Shoshanna

Do you ever ponder the meaning of life? Why are we here? Perhaps these questions surface when we receive news we'd rather not receive, the passing of an uncle, a beloved aunt, a friend's spouse who died for the wrong reason. I'm not sure I believe myself when I justify the news by saying this is the circle of life. I don't make a habit of reading the obituary columns in the newspaper but occasionally I read about strangers.
