Top Five Difficult Life Experiences
1. Loss of a Loved One
When someone we love dies, it can feel like our world stops turning. Grief over a parent, child, spouse, or friend can be overwhelming and very lonely. This is probably most people's most difficult life experience.
2. Dumping and Divorce
There was a popular song called, "How can you mend a broken heart?" Broken hearts and broken families are one of life's top five difficult experiences.
3. Loss of a Job
Even though more people have experienced loss of a job than ever before, it is life-shattering just the same. Someone's total self-image can be tied up in their job.
4. Loss of a Home
Foreclosure is at an all-time high, but it is still a very difficult life experience. Being uprooted from your home is very unsettling. There are also practical issues relating to having no place to live.
5. Loss of Health
Sickness is a difficult life experience that can be quite challenging to overcome. Losing the ability to care for ourselves is very scary and not predictable or fair. Pain, suffering, and illness are certainly one of life's difficult experiences.
