What do you do when you lose something you cannot get back? And by losing this thing the construct of your future, your plans, your hopes, everything, had to be deviated and readdressed? And just to move on, decisions had to be made, either to press reset, digress or keep the course. And if you do press restart, how do you know its not a reactionary escape but a needed coping mechanism?
Will you find yourself trying to replace this thing, or accept that what was had is unrepeatable, unable to be recreated........simply put, irreplaceable? Will you find yourself thinking back at what more could have been done to save this thing, determining if its loss could have been your fault?
All combined I suppose there is no real answer to this question, its the reality of life, teaching us that everything we experience is a combination of our decisions and the decisions of others as they affect us. So rather than live retrospectively, attempting to produce meaning for something lost, realize that nothing is really ours to have or hold, merely experience, that the only true thing we can own is our decisions and direction.
