Beyond a "Blessing in Disguise"

"It's a blessing in disguise," people often say when we're confronted with loss or disappointment. And we generally understand the intention: It's a polite acknowledgment of hardship paired with the reassurance that a silver lining must be hidden somewhere within it-if not visible now, then surely waiting around the corner. But tragedy rarely feels like a blessing while we're living through it. More often, it shakes our sense of certainty, rattles our well-being, and challenges who we thought we were, forcing us to rethink what matters and who we can rely on.
