The Five of Cups reminds us that while we all suffer losses, we must be careful not to lose ourselves in that pain.

We need to honor what it is we feel, not run from it.

When we try to run or hide from the pain we feel, eventually we self destruct. In the long term it is better to work through it from the beginning than it is to try to pick up the pieces later.
