Description:No one seriously debates the notion that loss changes life. The often-repeated phrase that “life will never be the same” is certainly true, but some of those “not the same” characteristics of loss can be revolutionary. People gain new passion. Purpose is reignited. Great movements are begun. In short, the identity of the grieving person is utterly transformed.
