There is no real way to deal with everything we lose.
Joan Didion, in her work "Where I Was From,” reflects on the inevitability of loss and the difficulty of coping with it. She emphasizes that throughout life, we encounter various forms of loss—personal, cultural, and emotional. The struggle to accept and process these losses can be overwhelming, as there are no definitive solutions to mitigate the pain they bring.
Didion’s perspective suggests that loss is a universal experience, each individual grappling with their unique challenges. It serves as a reminder of our shared humanity and the complexity of life, highlighting that while we may seek ways to confront our losses, there is ultimately no straightforward way to reconcile with what is gone.
