Every one of our partners, friends, family members, everything that brings us joy will one day leave our lives—either through life’s normal uncertainty and change, or through the inevitability of death. So we have two choices: embrace and love what we have and feel joy as deeply and fully as we can, and eventually lose everything—or shield ourselves, be miserable…and eventually lose everything. Living in fear won’t stop us from losing what we love, it will only stop us from enjoying it.
