Experiencing a loss provides you a new outlook on life, a blessing.   You realize that every day is a gift, and little things mean a lot.  You may become more compassionate, empathetic, sensitive, or appreciative towards another’s loss. You are looking through “the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,”  Ephesians 1:18
