I have lived in the shadow of loss__he kind of loss that can paralyze you forever.I have grieved like a professional mourner__n every waking moment, draining every ounce of my life force.I died__ithout leaving my body.But I came back, and now it__ your turn.I have learned to remember my past__ithout living in it.I am strong, electric, and alive, because I chose to dance, to laugh, to love, and tolive again.I have learned that you can__ re-create the life you once had__ou have toreinvent a life for yourself.And that reinvention is a gift, not a curse.I believe your future self is a work of art and that science can help you create it. If you__e lost . . . if you__e gone . . . if you can barely absorb the words on thispage . . . I want you to hold this truth in your heart: when it__ your time to go, you won__ wish you had spent more time grieving; you__l wish you had spent more time living.That__ why I__ here. And why you are, too. Let__ live like our lives depend on it.

Always _ but especially when suffering - surround yourself with those who inspire you to lose yourself more honestly, to love others more thoroughly, to live life more fully, and to trust God more wholly. Huddle with those who care for you and those who are exemplary in their encouragement, patience and understanding of others. Hang out with those who strive to put God and faith at their center. Pray for peers, friends and mentors who will not only encourage you to be your best independent, strong, and vulnerable self all at the same time _ but also sincerely humble. Pray that their angel dust will transcend you when even the smallest flecks of their contagious warmth and permeating beauty fall upon you. Then ever pray that you may have the opportunity to likewise ease and nurture others in such authentic ways; thus honing such a charitable, other-oriented nature of your own, _ a miraculous healing balm _ a buffer of pain if there ever was one. Know this is the most powerful antidote for fear and sorrow; the most effective _ and addictive _ cure-all known in all of creation; an elixir for that otherwise, elusive kind of happiness _ the kind that weathers, endures and remains in all seasons and conditions.
