10. Loss is inevitable part of life. During our lifetime, we experience a variety of loss like death of a beloved, loss of job, financial security or a relationship brealqicp With loss comes grief. It is a very stressful experience. It can very quickly deplete your energy an emotional reserves. The most important thing is not to let your grie contro your life. Support someone is very essential to combat grief. Chuck had everything going for him-a job, house and family but an accident robbed him of the ability to walk or move. He was then hit by pain and grief and felt depressed. Duke, his Doberman, proved to be a saviour in his life. He rekindled a hope in the family and taught him to cope with the challenge successfully. He not only conquered his handicap with Duke’s assistance and regained his job but was also promised as Assistant National Sales Manager. We should take inspiration from his life and should remain firm and strong in challenging times.

Dear Asha
How are you? I am well here. I want to share my experience of helping my grandmother to become literate. You know, Granny was very fond of the novel ‘Kashi Yatra’. She would listen with great interest and full concentration when I used to read out the story to her. Thereafter, she would discuss the std? With her friends. However, when I came to visit you last month, there was no one whom she could ask to read out the story to her. She felt disappointed as she was illiterate. The reason behind her illiteracy is not lack of interest but the fact that people in those days were not sent to school. On her request, I taught her the Kannada alphabet. Now, 5 e has become able to read as well as I can. It, really, is very satisfying to teach others. You too should try it. Reply soon to my letter.
Your friend
