It may be the end of a relationship, being let go from a job, losing a home, or the death of a loved one. It is natural to go through a grieving process. By looking for opportunity in adversity or finding ways to remember the good things about who or what we\u2019ve lost, we can help ourselves to recover mentally and emotionally.<\/p>\n
