When it comes to experiencing loss, ambiguity can be hard for us to manage because it often results in feelings of confusion and uncertainty. If given the option, we would prefer to have a sense of closure. But what if closure is not the most beneficial goal to set for ourselves when experiencing ambiguous loss?
Suffering is uncomfortable to confront — and we are prone to run from it, recover from it as quickly as we can, or risk breaking under the weight of it. In my experience, whether professional or personal, there is no level of skill, wisdom, or empathy that truly comforts the one who suffers. But this is where the beautiful truth of redemption steps in and begins to undo the work of suffering and loss.
