The phrase "it is what it is" has become a common response to difficult situations in our lives. It seems to represent a lax attitude towards adversity, almost as if we are accepting the situation without any effort to change it. One particular demographic that often exhibits this mindset is people who are older than 65 years of age who have lost their spouse. When faced with the loss of a lifelong partner, many older individuals tend to adopt a "it is what it is" perspective. As we age, we accumulate more experiences and learn that not everything in life can be controlled or changed. We come to understand that some things are simply out of our hands, and we must learn to accept them as they are. Losing a spouse after years of marriage is one such situation that is beyond our control.
Listen to the Magic Seed of going through the process through life’s natural cycles and not sweeping this massive heartbreaking and traumatic experience under the proverbial carpet.
