1.   Not all loss is of the same magnitude or    
      kind.
2.   All loss can be the groundwork for new life.
3.   Losses are unique to each individual,  
     because we grieve more over the 
      loss of what something meant to us, not the
      lost object itself.
4.   Change always brings loss, even when the
      change is welcome.
5.   As our losses are unique, so are our ways
      of coping with them.
6.   Loss evokes a wide array of emotions,
      whether we admit them or not.
7.   We will find the makings of ourself in our
      own history of loss, especially in the ways
      we have chosen to deal with it.
8.   While we cannot control the losses we 
      experience in life, we can choose what we
      do with them.
9.   Suffering is a mystery.  The Son of God
      endured suffering and death out of love for
      and solidarity with us, but he never
      explained why we suffer.
10. God's grace gives us the choice to
       transform
       loss into abundant life.
11. The spirit dwells within us, suffers with us,
      consoles us, and will guide us to
      resurrection.
12. Growthful grieving involves three
      movements:
      a.)  openly acknowledging what has been
            lost
      b.)  expressing our feelings as we
            acknowledge the loss
      c.)  choosing to change the things that keep
            us tied to the loss
