It’s OK to give yourself time to mourn life’s setbacks. You just can’t let them own you!
If the disappointment is caused by a bad decision on your part, it presents a learning opportunity to remember for future decisions.
It can also provide a teaching opportunity for your children. As they watch you cope with disappointment, they follow your example. Fortunately or unfortunately, every moment for a parent is a teaching moment.
If, however, the disappointment was caused by some circumstance beyond your control, we all must accept the reality that life will always have its difficult moments. Living through those difficult times actually can make us stronger and fortify us to be able to face the challenges ahead.
If the disappointment is of a permanent nature, I suggest turning to prayer for acceptance.
