Ten Steps to Re-creating Your Life:
Redemption After
Tragedy, Trauma and Loss
by Rabbi Lynnda Targan
Adam and Eve had everything.
They had Paradise and perfection. Then they made a critical error
and seemingly lost all of their gifts. They lost perfection,
they lost the Garden of Eden, they lost immortality, they incurred
the wrath of God, and they had to learn to live with the consequences
of their mistakes. For the first time, they experienced betrayal,
pain and shame, which they brought into the world. Yet they re-create
themselves, despite their deficits to become the parents through
whom all of humanity will spring forth. And that is just the
beginning. Examine the Biblical stories of our ancestors for
models of how to overcome loss in the face of tragedy and pain.
Learn how to re-create your life from hopelessness and despair
to optimism and joy.
