Oprah Learns From Tragedy

Just this week Oprah allowed news of her loss to leak to the press. On May 26^th her beloved dog Gracie choked on a ball that belonged to another of her dogs. The dog walker and security guard present did everything they could to save her but in the end, she was lost. Oprah reportedly ran outside barefoot in a panic to discover the tragedy. Even now all of these weeks later, she is still in shock and mourning. She said that every time she thinks about it her heart pounds and the pain is like a stabbing in the chest. Oprah refuses to believe in accidents and so she strives to find the meaning in the death of her precious pet. Her lesson in all of this is to live every moment as if it’s the last but to remember to slow down too. Anyone who has lost a pet knows it is really losing a family member. There is nothing that can make it any easier and even time can only help so much. Perhaps looking for the lesson in it is the way to help healing.
