When you’re hurting, remember: Grief is like a flood, the deluge can feel life shattering, overwhelming. Along with what looks like devastation, however, a flood can also cleanse its path. When you rebuild, you can try to reconstruct what you lost, or you can choose to make a fresh start. Either way, building better and more enduring “structures” in the wake of the flood can make you even stronger and create even more of an amazing life than you ever imagined possible.
