When You Don’t Recognize Yourself Anymore
Identity after loss
Loss changes us. Trauma reshapes how we move through the world. It can be unsettling to realize that the person you once were no longer fits.
You may miss parts of yourself. You may feel disconnected from who you used to be. This does not mean you are broken. It means you are in the middle of becoming.
Scripture speaks of renewal, not erasure. Becoming new does not mean discarding who you were. It means integrating experience with wisdom.
You are not required to return to your old self. You are allowed to discover who you are now.
