About this episode
Everytime someone young dies, we wonder how life could be so unfair. For every child who dies of terrible cancer, there are people who question their faith or meaning of life altogether. The truth is, life does not owe us anything. It does not owe us a happy ending. It does not owe us a long and healthy stretch. In this very special episode, as I actively mourn the loss of a very dear friend who was murdered last week, I will share with you that at the end of the day: this is life. No guarantees. No promises. We get to experience loss from that place of acceptance. The acceptance that suffering is part of living. Additional suffering, however, is merely optional.
