Life is filled with losses. It begins with the loss of our perfect oneness with another person at the moment of our birth and ends with the loss of our own life (see note below). In between, humans suffer every kind and degree of loss, such as losses of a parent, loss of one’s child, loss of one’s childhood, of one’s innocence, or losses of health, freedom, safety, money, employment, home, friends, or loss of a spouse or life partner to death, divorce or separation.
