The Serenity Prayer

"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."

When dealing with grief, you must reach a point of acceptance for complete healing to take place. You must accept and realize that the loss or event has occurred, and there's nothing you can do to change that fact. However, you can focus on the things you can change, such as your attitude, your thought processes, or a change in your lifestyle. You may need to make some adjustments or learn new behaviors to compensate for the loss. But, as you pray for God's strength and courage, He will see you through. Pray for God's wisdom to guide and direct you during this final stage of acceptance.
