   Living with Loss. Part 2.

   Loss can be anything. The loss of your health. The loss of health of someone who you love. The loss of your function or the loss of function of someone you love. The ability to drive. The loss of independence. Divorce. Retirement. Old age. A house fire. The loss of a childhood. A breakup. A break-in. The death of a pet. The death of a person. So, in a very real sense, “loss is loss” because all losses involve grief.  Any person, pet, or thing that you loved that is taken away from you, against your will is a loss. I guarantee that all of you have had major losses by the time you were 18 years old. Always remember that a zebra cannot change its stripes. Therefore, the way that you cope with small losses will be the way that you cope with big losses. For example, if you isolate yourself during a small loss, you will isolate yourself when you experience a big loss. Listen to this interesting podcast as our host interviews three men who relied in their faith to cope with losses:  Ryan Avery, Frank Calleson, and Sam Polk.

How Things Have Changed and Advice for Life. An Interview with Dr. Timothy R. Jordan

Published 3 May 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] Dr. Dake and I did that. The development of the pre-med public health degree. Dr. Dake and I did that. The merger of our college, which is Health and Human Services, HHS, with the College of Education to save money on a dean. And three years later, de-merging our college and the College of Education because the synergies between the two colleges proposed by the college president at the time did not occur. It didn't.
