Losing a Spouse

When we lose someone that we love in any way, it is not necessarily a bad thing alone. Even though it is painful and difficult, it may be the only way in which to truly find oneself, which is much more important than having the "other"! The others existence is ultimately there to help us on our inward journey, not to become a fixed dependency which is then a barrier to our progess! Any loss in life has the seed of this potentiality! On the wisdom path one can recognize this and use it to grow and benefit! This then will help others realize as well. Your tragedy becomes a portal into the Tao of existence!
