“Accept loss forever. ”

“Synthesis is the gateway to Transcendence, because once you accept that you are forever changed and that life is forever different, you have to ask, "What are you going to do about that fact? Will the change be for the better or for worse?" It's the loss itself that becomes the catalyst for meaning. (pg 273)”

“Accepting the loss of a loved one is difficult. But reconciling with the living is just as important.”

“Americans live in a twilight world between a sense of loss and a sense of resigned acceptance.”

“The way of the nomad is to accept everything as it comes: there is no anticipation of better days, no longing for the unrequited, no despair for loss.”

“A person who has not made peace with his losses is likely to accept gambles that would be unacceptable to him otherwise.”
