The same way that the Universe will never let you miss anything that’s meant for you, it will also make up what’s lost or taken from you. We who have suffered tragedy might not take solace in this; thinking nothing can replace what we have lost, but the Universe is mysterious and wondrous in the ways it dispenses blessings, sometimes they are huge and undeniable, but mostly they creep in slowly, they grow on you, until one day you look around and realize you are happier than you’ve ever been in your life, and you have to stop and count your blessings. You are happy in a million little ways. Life just flows. Contentment just is. You’re at peace. There may never be one definite thing that makes up for another, but there is the marking of time where you can say you’ve moved on; you have replaced loss with peace and happiness. The Universe had a plan all along.
