3. What it would be like to lose everything.

To lose everything would be one of the worst possible things to happen in my opinion. It would be so devastating that I would not know what to do. I would probably feel very scared and pretty lost. If losing everything included just house, car, and other possessions, I do not think it would be nearly as bad as if it included family as well. Just thinking about losing everything is hard to think about, so I can not even imagine how mortifying it would be if it actually occurred like it did to Anne Bradstreet. However, Bradstreet was very religious and knew that God could get her through anything and keep her strong for she knew that her earthly possessions were not nearly as important as her relationship with God, which she could not simply lose in a house fire. Her story sort of gives me more peace when I contemplate the thought of losing everything suddenly. I like to think that if God were to take everything away from me, He would also take care of me and keep me strong. It would be hard no doubt, but faith would be enough if that was all I had. There are also a few different approaches that could be taken to deal with the loss. One way would be to be openly remorseful and not hold anything back. The alternative would be keeping yourself composed among other people and letting it go when you were alone. I do not think one of these options is better than the other, it would just depend on the person or personality. I myself would most likely gravitate towards the inner remorse based on my own personality and some past situations. However, I can not be entirely sure how I would react to that specific situation seeing as I have never actually lost everything, which I am most definately glad about, and for the time being, I chose not to think too hard about it would really be like for that to happen.
