Loss is a fact of life. Impermanence is everywhere we look. We lose loved ones. We lose our health. We lose our glasses. We lose our memory. We lose our money. We lose our keys. We lose our socks. We have to come to terms with this reality. How we deal with them is what makes all the difference. For it is not what happens to us that determines our character, but how we relate to what happens.
Lama Surya Das, Working with Loss
Mindfulbalance 
Such trivial loss or a way of describing the loss we create by our own desire.
Ownership brings loss, as does judgment, isolation and rigid ness.
.
If I have a healthy inner world, I understand that impermanate objects are ephemeral.
As far as memory how would you know.
.
Much of my life I would of described as loss at one time, not coveting a thing such as approval, eliminates loss when harsh words emanate from another.
Needing achievement, victory, overcoming leads to loss.
.
The fewer needs we have the fewer losses we will feel, my opinion.
“Ownership brings loss, as does judgment, isolation and rigid ness” so true … Ownership is an illusion. Loss is a reminder of the fantasy we create to feed our egos.
I’ve just discovered your blog and like your thoughts, especially as I’ve just experienced the loss of my sister. Glad to have found you.
Here is a Matthieu Ricard quote.
“It is therefore always better to familiarize ourselves with and prepare ourselves for the kind of suffering we are likely to encounter, some of which will be unavoidable, such as illness, old age, and death, rather than to be caught off guard and sink into anguish.”
Life or loss, our judgment, life does not care it advances to the next moment.
Dear Jude,
Thank you for passing by, and I am sorry to hear of the loss of your sister. It must have been, amd still is, a difficult time for you. I am pleased if some of the quotes these days are of help as they are criss-crossing around themes of loss and impermanence. With my best wishes and thoughts, Karl
