Who are you after your loss?

Loss can bring about the destruction of your identity, especially if you strongly associate with who or what you lost. This can be a relationship, a job, a home, or a loved one or a pet, and even your sense of self.

It is much like receiving the Tower is a tarot card, which represents sudden change, upheaval, and destruction. It can be a difficult card to receive, as it often signals the end of something that we have built our lives around.

When we experience a loss, it can be easy to feel like we have lost our identity. We may no longer know who we are or what we want. We may feel lost, confused, and alone.

The Tower card reminds us that change is inevitable. It also reminds us that we are stronger than we think. We can rebuild our lives after a loss, but it takes time and effort.

There are many different modalities that can help with the healing process after loss. Some people find journaling to be helpful, while others prefer to talk to a therapist or counsellor. There are also many support groups available for people who have experienced similar losses.
