  • What remains

Upright

Disappointment and regret are blocking the view. The loss is real but it is not everything; turn around and some things are still standing. Grief needs its time — it does not need you to stay there.

Reversed

Recovering from the grief and turning toward what remains. Forgiveness and acceptance begin.

Advice

Stop counting what you lost. Count what is left.
