The Truth Will Set You Free

How to cope with loss can be understood intellectually but it does not make it any less difficult to come to terms with. Like recovering from loss due to the uncontrollable forces of Mother Nature.
She is the way she is, unpredictable, cruel and beautiful. We know her nature although some tormented and misled souls will ask, “Why God?”
It’s not God.
Now those who are religious and reading may be feeling quite offended. But when I refer to that fictional mega-being-whether it be Mother Nature, God, or any other mythical creation of man it must be realized that there isn’t really one, on some level. Hence, an angered and frustrated reaction of disbelieving belief.
This enables a coping mechanism which disallows a possibility and invokes fear that the statement, ‘There is no God.’ to be accepted as true by the mind. Because if that were ‘true’ then how else would one deal with the hopelessness, the pain, the loss, the frustration of the uncaring cruelty of the conditions humans create and the environment in which we live in .
How does one cope if you don’t turn to a god or mega-being? Throwing oneself into religion is as escapist as doing heroin.
Death religions are those that focus on doing this and that in life to achieve some sort of glory or special treatment in the so-called afterlife. Death is the great equalizer which is really the most difficult thing for humans to come to terms with. The very factual ‘concept’ of all that one could achieve socially and financially meaning absolutely nothing.
Those who do experience loss, this ‘death’ in their life have two options. One being to find a means of escapism, a coping mechanism, to save the mind. Or second being to let the body and mind go through its natural fight/flight stress/depression cycle. Accepting the loss and cycle by not allowing the mind to escape unhealthily to achieve balance.
