The weariness of loss

The loss of your job, your health, of someone you love, loss of your money or a loss of a close relative can be very hurtful. Even though we know there are different types of losses getting over them all can be done is quite a difficult task.

The key to getting over any loss is understanding acceptance correctly. Some people think that acceptance is the act of doing nothing, remaining indifferent and saying “I accept what happened”. This kind of acceptance might be suitable if you lost a close family member but if you lost your job then staying still will only result in more problems.
We have to learn to accept what happened yet keep doing your best in order to get out of this problem you are in. If you lost your money then accepted it while doing nothing then you aren’t practicing acceptance but you are practicing defeat.

Acceptance of a loss may mean you have to change your life style, the way you do things, your job, or even your town. It's the action of acceptance of your loss that leads to true relief instead of the indifference and discomfort.

After any kind of loss you experience different stages of recovery:
-denial
-anger
-depression
-loneliness
-frustration
-fatigue

-Anger and denial in most cases won’t take you but a few days before you go through them successfully.

-Depression, loneliness, and frustration usually also won’t last as long as you think as well.

Fatigue or weariness can gain a stronghold. That's why we need the strength of the Lord in those times of loss. Here's what the Word says:

"Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."
Isaiah 40:30, 31

Galatians 6:9 says, "And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not."

Losses will come all through life, but don't grow weary. God is still in control.
