When we think about loss it is typically a negative word with negative associations.
To lose is to be deprived of, or no longer have.
We fear loss. The loss of life, our own or a loved one. The loss of money or wealth. The loss of our health and well-being.
The list goes on and on.
We are meant to grieve loss. It is how we cope with loss. It is how we transition from the loss to the understanding of the benefit and appreciation of what we once had and why we are better for having had them or it in our life.
There are losses we suffer which are outside of our control and then there are those in our control.
Our choices, decisions, and intentions can result in loss. These are the ones we control for better or worse.
When you are in a position that requires you to make a decision that will result in a loss, or are in a situation where you’ve experienced loss outside of your control, it is best to talk with someone who can be objective.
A coach can help you understand the options, potential outcomes, likelihoods, and how the changes may affect you.
Rarely are situations clear cut, and loss of something may be a change, such as a job or spouse through divorce, but it may also have benefits.
Coaching helps you clarify your situation and assess it more objectively.
