Coming Soon: The Life We Thought We'd Have

Why Letting Go of an Imagined Future Can Be One of Life's Hardest Losses

From a young age, many of us begin to picture what our lives will look like. Those dreams become part of how we see our future. But life doesn't always unfold the way we imagined. Along the way, we often find ourselves grieving not only the things we lost, but also the life we thought we were going to have.

The Life We Thought We'd Have explores why letting go of an imagined future can be one of life's deepest losses. It examines why those dreams become such an important part of who we are, why they can be so difficult to let go of, and how we can begin to find meaning and hope in the life that unfolds instead.
