Whether we like it or not, we all have to face loss throughout our lives. How it presents itself will vary and so will the scale of it. Endurance cyclist Lee Craigie explores how we learn to deal with loss and build resilience to whatever life throws our way.

As Lee finds out, loss isn't always defined by the life ending moment of someone's death. For someone caring for a loved one living with dementia, loss can be a gradual thing that slowly creeps up on you as you see the person you knew slowly withdrawing into themselves.

What if you experience a life changing moment that takes away who you had become in your own mind and who people knew you as? Mountain bike guide Andy McKenna tells Lee how he found himself in a new, richer life once he came to terms with his MS.

So this Life Cycle is about learning to deal with loss, and what we can learn about ourselves from loss itself.
