The Stoic Reframe to Deal with Loss of Any Kind

The Stoic Handbook by Jon Brooks

If you deeply recognize that life is impermanent, ever-changing and that everything we enjoy is a gift from the Universe, you can no longer suffer in the same way when things are taken from you.
This episode is inspired by the following quote from Epictetus:
“Under no circumstances ever say ‘I have lost something,’ only ‘I returned it.’ Did a child of yours die? No, it was returned. Your wife died? No, she was returned. ‘My land was confiscated.’ No, it too was returned.
