Catholic and Mourning a Loss

5 Challenges- Our ability to work through the grieving process will be tested- Our life will be changed because of our loss- Our ability to function will be questioned- Our dreams for the future may have to be altered- We will question our reliance on other and even on God 5 Opportunities- We can learn to use the gifts that working through grief has offered us- We can realize that change can be an opportunity for newness and growth- We can explore the new-found strength that can be ours- We can go beyond ourselves as we face the future- We will be able to "e;let go and let God"e; be in control
