Loss need not be heavy. Loss can be the way to weightlessness. Did Jesus not say, "My burden is light?" (Matthew 11:10) The weighty shadow of my grief is only the beginning of a wondrous free-Fall. Jesus tells my heart, "Keep falling, all the way through the abyss, until you realize there is no ground. Then your loss is my grace." And if there is no ground, there is no violent impact, no end to the freedom of the Fall.
