Adversity’s effects

The adversities we face have immediate effects. Some of them are:

• Loneliness
• Grief
• Drastically changed lives
• Feeling incomplete
• Drastically changed as a person
• More stress
  • Emotional
  • Physical
  • Economic
  • Psychological
  • Spiritual

Sometimes you’ll not just experience one of these effects, but many. For example, let’s say you were involved in a catastrophic accident, so now:

Your life is changed. Maybe you now need 24/7 nursing care. You and your family may be suffering from:

• Economic stress
• Emotional stress
• Loss of companionship
• Perhaps spiritual stress, as you’re now beginning to doubt the existence of God

This is not an exhaustive list; however, it does demonstrate the range of difficulties you may be going through due to just one incident of adversity. Adversity affects not only you but also your family and those in your close circle.

If experiencing adversity is inevitable and its effects many, how does one live in the face of adversity? In my next post we’ll discuss tools you can use to do so.
