"Could it be the things they give to us are even more valuable than what they wish to steal away?"

This is beautiful! It's so counterintuitive to look for what you might gain from letting go of something you're afraid to lose. 

"Ponder this, as you stare into a sky you’ve never seen before"

And this is the secret to unlocking those gains. The sky you've never seen before is the one you gaze upon with fresh eyes. Fresh eyes see past the loss and broken ugliness, and give us a glimpse of a future that is whole again. And that future is something worth pondering, even if we can't see it yet.
